The Scottish Artists Union is the ONLY representative voice for visual and applied artists in Scotland. Artists tend to work alone, individually we have little influence or political 'clout'. Together we can make policy-makers appreciate the needs and importance of artists in the Scottish cultural, social and economic scene.

On top of that you get free public liability and professional indemnity insurance, access to our free learning and professional development programme and a range of benefits including 30 minutes free legal consultation and online & in-store discounts at a number of outlets.
