Join SSA Council 2025
Deadline: Wednesday 4 June, 9am
The Society of Scottish Artists Council runs entirely on a voluntary basis. The Council is made up of the Co-Presidents, Vice Presidents, Professional, Artist, Honorary and Co-opted Members who all give their time and individual skills and experience to the organisation.
This year there are vacancies for 2 x Artist Members and 1 x Co-opted (all levels).
Being a part of the Council is a hands-on and challenging role, it can be busy but is also enormously rewarding. It is a wonderful opportunity to meet and work with artists from across many disciplines and to understand the importance of the SSA both historically and creatively but also how we fit into the future of the wider Scottish cultural landscape.
As a member of the Council, you will be involved in promoting the Society, creating opportunities for fellow members through exhibitions and exchanges, fundraising, and producing our Annual Exhibition. Co-opted members of Council have the same opportunities though without the voting rights.
We are looking for people who have not served on Council since 2022 and have the time, energy and ideas to bring to the Society and to its development.
Council members take up the role for 3 years after which they stand down. Members attend meetings approximately every 4-6 weeks as well as sitting on exhibition committees and subgroups. An additional time commitment is required for the development of projects and the organisation of the Annual Exhibition.
HOW TO APPLY:
Please complete this NOMINATION FORM >> with the following information: name, email, link to your website and/or your SSA web profile and up to 150 words about you, the skills and experience you can bring and why you would like to be part of the SSA Council.
Deadline: Wednesday 4 June, 9am
WHAT HAPPENS NEXT? The President and Council will consider nominations and if we receive more applications than the number of members required the SSA membership will be invited to vote on applications and the persons with the most votes will be offered the position.
We look forward to receiving your nomination.
