Scottish Society of Artists

We are the Society of Scottish Artists.

We’re the largest artist-led organisation in Scotland. We lead a diverse and ambitious programme and invite artists based anywhere in the world to join us.

SSA ESSAY PROJECT | ALONA PETLIARSKA

We are pleased to publish ‘Making Art in an Age of Noise’ by SSA Graduate Member, Alona Petliarska.

Alona is a Kirkwall-based artist; her practice is rooted in the “performance” of visual storytelling. Her work explores the fluid transitions of mythology and folklore through mixed media, and her recent research addresses the challenges of creativity in the digital era.

The SSA essay programme intends to highlight the creative thinking of our members and to provide a platform for expressing and sharing our opinions on Art, Life and the World.
