SSA 126th ANNUAL EXHIBITION
We can think of no better way to close out 2024 at the SSA than with this celebration of contemporary art in Scotland and we are especially delighted to be bringing the SSA’s 126th Annual Exhibition back to the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh.
The SSA Annual Exhibition is one of the largest contemporary art exhibitions in Scotland. It is produced and supported entirely by artists with no public funding. The exhibition will take place at The Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh from Saturday 23 November – Wednesday 11 December 2024.
