A warm welcome to the SSW website. Here you will find news and information about the opportunities that we initiate for international and UK-based visual artists, as well as information and on-line journals from artists currently in residence.

SSW provides residencies, training and exhibition opportunities for visual artists who wish to research ideas, experiment with new techniques or develop existing skills.

Our high quality making facilities are supported by excellent technical staff, and a residency at SSW offers time, space and engagement with other visual artists from the UK and beyond in the stimulating rural environment of north-east Scotland.

Note: To facilitate building work during our Capital Development Project Jan - Oct 2010 we will be reducing our artist programme. However access to foundry and metal fabrication facilities will continue to be available throughout this period. Please contact SSW if you would like further information.
