BE PART OF THE INSTALLATION & PROPOSALS SELECTION COMMITTEE 2025
We are looking for 2 members of the Society of Scottish Artists to be part of the Installation, Proposals and Performance Submissions Selection Committee for the 127th Annual Exhibition.
The SSA Annual Exhibition will be held once again at the Royal Scottish Academy, Edinburgh in early 2026, and this is your opportunity to shape the presentation of the exhibition.
The Society of Scottish Artists is an artist-led membership organisation and encourages all members to contribute to the Society and its activities.
WHAT’S INVOLVED?
You will be part of a committee of people responsible for selecting artworks for the exhibition, you will view and vote on artworks submitted digitally to installation, proposals and performance submissions.
You will be given access to review each submission and to cast your vote. This is done in your own time by Wednesday 27 August 2025.
Please be aware that there is a lot to consider when selecting install works and looking at submissions does take time and you are required to view and vote on every work.
You will be required to attend an online selection meeting via zoom on Wednesday 27 August 2025, 6.30 – 8pm to make the final pre-selections. You must be available on this date.
All artists who have submitted artworks will then be informed whether their work has been pre-selected.
WHAT ARE WE LOOKING FOR?
All members are welcome to apply. We are interested to hear from Society members who have not previously taken part in exhibition selection committees and from those who live outwith Edinburgh.
We are keen to receive applications from artists working in a range of disciplines within the areas of installation, site-specific, audio, audio-visual work, interactive works, performance and animation.
