Professional Artist Members
We are delighted to invite Artist Members to apply to be a Professional Artist Member of the Society of Scottish Artists.
Professional Artist Membership is for Artist Members who are actively practising professionally within one or more branches of the visual arts and is by selection only in recognition of their talent and dedication in this field.
They are elected annually by a Professional Members Selection Committee and have previously been selected to exhibit in at least two SSA curated exhibitions. Professional Members have all the benefits enjoyed by our Artist Members and, in addition, may submit up to four works at the Annual Exhibitions. They are the only members entitled to use the post-nominal SSA after their names.
