Student Membership

£10 per year

Student membership is open to anyone studying art, either full-time or part-time, at higher education level. Joining the SSA means becoming part of a supportive community of artists, having access to a professional network that extends far beyond your academic colleagues, and getting the opportunity to exhibit alongside established artists.

The SSA has encouraged new, young and emerging artists since it was founded; we value our Student Members as important contributors to our community, and encourage them to remain part of the SSA throughout their careers.
