Artist Membership
£40 per year
We welcome all artists at any stage of their careers to join as Artist Members. Becoming a member of the SSA means joining a long tradition of artists in Scotland, while also being part of a thriving and active contemporary art organisation. As well as providing opportunities, promotion and support, we also encourage networking between our members through our engaging programme of artists’ talks, presentations and social events. Artist Members who fulfil the eligibility requirements may stand for election as Professional Members after two years.
