WASPS
Wasps Artists' Studios is an award-winning charity which provides affordable studio space to support the careers of up to 750 visual artists working in Scotland today. Now with a 30 year track record, WASPs has grown to become one of the largest studio providers in the UK with a network of 17 buildings from the Scottish Borders to the Shetland Islands. Triodos Bank has worked with Wasps since 2004 providing loans to support the redevelopment of studio properties in Edinburgh, Glasgow, Irvine, Aberdeen, Newburgh and Kirkcudbright.

How Triodos acts
We strongly believe that arts and culture can benefit the personal development of every individual, so we aim to provide co-workers with an inspirational environment. Triodos Bank has its own art collection, which is managed by an art committee. Triodos Bank does not view its art collection as a financial investment as other banks do.
