Our Committee
SaltSpace was founded by students and graduates of Glasgow School of Art. Since 2019, our committee has continuously grown and reformed, giving artists from a range of backgrounds opportunities to learn the skills of running a non-profit community interest company.
As a cooperative with a democratic constitution, we have a non hierarchical group of committee members. We hold regular meetings so that our decision making is a collective process and the running of SaltSpace involves everyone.

Erin Russo

She is particularly interested in how curatorial strategies can shape modes of attention, affect, and engagement within both institutional and non-institutional settings.

Rowan completed her undergraduate degree in Art and Philosophy at Duncan of Jordanstone College of Art and Design, Dundee, in 2024.
