SSAA

The Scottish Society of Architect Artists was founded in 1987 and consists of like-minded architects interested in all the wider visual arts including drawing, painting, sculpture, jewellery, photography, print-making and experimental art.

It was formed to reinforce and maintain the well established historic relationship between art and architecture. Most architects in Scotland entered the profession through apprenticeships within architectural practices or via academic studies at Schools of Architecture, closely associated with Art Colleges in Aberdeen, Dundee, Glasgow and Edinburgh. Consequently many architects retain life long interest in the wider visual arts.

The SSAA is affiliated to but entirely independent of the Royal Incorporation of Architects in Scotland (RIAS) and is honoured to have HRH The Duke of Gloucester KG GCVO as Patron. Membership of the society is open to architects, students, and to those involved in architectural practice in Scotland, past and present. The society is now in its fourth decade and continues to be organised by an enthusiastic volunteer committee of members.

The aims of the Society are:

– to encourage architects to develop their skills in drawing, painting, sculpture, photography and related arts & crafts
– to provide opportunities for members to exhibit, communicate and sell their art work.

The Society has also embraced broader ambitions to develop and enrich active liaisons between artists and architects, and is committed to holding at least one annual exhibition of members’ work which usually takes place in the spring or summer.
