30x30 | SSA 126th ANNUAL EXHIBITION | Society of Scottish Artists

We are pleased to announce that our 30 x 30 small works display returns to our Annual Exhibition at the Royal Scottish Academy this year, offering a fantastic, varied selection of small works for sale at affordable prices.

All SSA members are invited to submit work. There is no selection process and there is no entry charge. If you are not a member and would like to join you can do so HERE

Throughout the exhibition works are displayed on rotation on our custom built 30×30 wall and in branded browsers. We will also be hosting the work on the SSA website where the public will be able to view and enquire about available artworks.

HOW TO APPLY

>> 30 X 30 SUBMISSION FORM <<

Please complete the submission form above. It is essential that all information provided within this form is accurate. The images, Artist Name, Artwork Title, Medium and Price will be pulled to a page on the SSA website and displayed exactly as it is input into the form. Work will not be accepted without a completed form. Completing the form in advance keeps the admin to a minimum and allows us to accept more work. If we receive work without a corresponding submission form, it will not be displayed at the exhibition or featured on the website.

Members may submit up to three works
Maximum price – £350. Professional members will be charged a rate of 35% on the sale price of all work sold. Artist, graduate & student members will be charged a commission of 40% on the sale price of all work sold. Please factor this into your pricing.

Professional Presentation of Work

Works should be unframed, 2D works on a firm 30cm x 30cm board.
The work itself can be smaller than 30x30cm, but if it is, it must be mounted to make the final dimensions 30cm x 30cm.
Mounted works should be no thicker than 3mm with no protruding parts.
Work should be neatly and securely wrapped in clear cellophane.
All works must be clearly labelled on the reverse with the following:

Artist:
Title:
Media:
Price:

If you have a business card/compliments slip with your social media and website details, we’d recommend popping this alongside your label so purchasers can keep up to date with your practice.

Work should be presented in a professional manner. Works which do not meet the required standards will not be displayed.

DELIVERY OF WORK

Delivery in person: Saturday 16 & Sunday 17 November 2024, 10:30am-4:30pm – Upper Galleries, Royal Scottish Academy, The Mound, Edinburgh, EH2 2EL. You will be asked to choose your delivery date on your submission form. If you have any accessibility requirements, please email admin@s-s-a.org

There is no parking on site, so please park elsewhere or use public transport/arrive on foot. Please be aware that the Christmas Markets will be taking place over the entire hand in period so the city will be very busy and we’d recommend avoiding coming into the city by car if you can.

Delivery by post: To arrive between Saturday 16 and Tuesday 19 November. We are not on site before these dates and the gallery will be unable to accept the work. Parcels arriving prior to this date will be refused delivery and the SSA cannot be liable for any lost or misplaced works.

RETURN OF UNSOLD WORK (Collection in person preferred)

In Person: Friday 13 & Saturday 14 December 2024, 10am -4pm

By Post: If you wish for your work to be posted back, you MUST include return packaging and postage when you deliver your work. Please do not put the burden of organising postage and packaging for your work onto the Society. It makes the 30×30 portion of the exhibition unsustainable due to the huge amount of time required to do this. We will endeavour to return work by post within a month of the close of the exhibition.
