Non-discrimination at SSW
At SSW we recognise the historic and ongoing omission of diversity within both the arts and technical fields across Scotland and our role within this. We believe this lack of diversity has led to narrower visions for what sculpture can be and who is able to make and enjoy it. We are committed to a culture of diversity, equity, and inclusion and providing equal opportunities for everyone, regardless of their background. We welcome applications from all backgrounds including, but not limited to, those who identify as from marginalised backgrounds based on any protected characteristic including age, race, gender identity or sexuality, disability or long-term health condition, pregnancy, maternity or marital status, religion or belief, and socio-economic background or class identity.
