Inspire Acquire – A Community of Sustainable Sharing

Developing Practice (Self-Initiated) – Project Outcome

We are an institutional online community marketplace designed to empower students by enabling the exchange of materials, ideas and expertise. Our platform encourages students to support and inspire one another whilst acquiring the materials or resources they need to bring their creative projects to life.

At the heart of our mission is a commitment to fostering a culture of care and respect for material use at an institutional level. We aim to contribute to a circular, regenerative materials economy by encouraging mindful reuse and collaboration.
Through our partnership with The Glasgow School of Art, we are working to promote more sustainable material practices for both individual and group projects.

Our goal is to strengthen community interaction across disciplines—connecting students from different courses and buildings who might not otherwise cross paths. By breaking down barriers within the institution, we hope to create a more collaborative, inclusive, and resource-conscious creative environment.
