Membership is open to Scottish students, artists based in Scotland and any artists that have studied at a Scottish institution. We have four different memberships.
We offer student, graduate and emerging artists memberships. These memberships allow you to get the most out of Saltspace with the opportunity to propose exhibitions and residencies, sell work and be part of our annual members show as well as becoming part of a community of artists.
We are proud to be
a Cooperative!
A co-op is an organisation owned and controlled by its members. It exists for the benefit of its members, who may be artists, workers, suppliers or the wider community. It’s an organisation with primarily social objectives whose surpluses are principally reinvested for the community.
