BEING A MEMBER OF THE SKOL CENTRE

SKOL, it’s all about its members. Becoming a member means choosing to be part of a living community that thinks, decides, and creates together — for over forty years.

Why become a member?

A network of peers with whom to share your practice, reflections, and challenges.

A space that values committed art and respects the freedom and flexibility of each artistic journey.

Funding opportunities (e.g., artist fees, exhibition rights, labour contracts) and support fostering career development.

A community anchor where you find support, care, inspiration, and solidarity in an environment respectful of the centre’s mission.

What is a member?

A member of the SKOL Centre is a person engaged in an artistic practice in the field of contemporary art. Members are the heart of the centre: they give it life, shape its orientations, and carry its values.

As a member, you take an active part in the governance of the centre. You have the right to vote at the annual general meeting and are strongly encouraged to join one of our working committees.

Membership means choosing to invest in a shared project and to grow within a community that values your practice and your voice.
