RSA Annual Exhibition - Open Art & Architecture
Royal Scottish Academy of Art and Architecture
Be part of our bicentenary, celebrating 200 years of art and architecture in Scotland! The RSA Annual Exhibition is the largest and longest-running annual exhibition of contemporary art and architecture in Scotland. For two centuries it has captured art and architecture at a moment in time, reflecting the world as it has changed with the Industrial Revolution, two world wars, the invention of the telephone and the birth of the internet. Once again we are welcoming submissions of art and architecture to be part of the exhibition in Edinburgh from Sat 9 May - Sun 14 June 2026. Full details on how to apply can be found on our website, including Regulations, List of Awards and FAQs.
Location: Edinburgh
Deadline: 6 February 2026
Founding Trustee – Arts-Fronted Democracy Movement
Hive Mind Speaks
Hive Mind Speaks is a new civic arts venture using public art and participatory democracy to give people a direct voice in the policies that shape their lives. We combine provocative, large-scale guerrilla interventions (inspired by Led by Donkeys, Banksy and Ai Weiwei) with structured public deliberation and symbolic national referendums, inviting both dialogue and direct engagement on major public issues. We’ve piloted our first project cycle on the NHS, hosted a Citizens’ Jury in partnership with campaigners, and received positive feedback from figures including Rory Stewart, Ben Stewart (Led by Donkeys) and Adam Kay. We’re now working with a research consortium including the Universities of Edinburgh, Strathclyde and Queen Mary to validate our model and prepare for national scale. Our next project, still under wraps, will be our most ambitious yet. We’re now looking to appoint a founding board of trustees to help us become a registered charity and build the structures to scale. Your insight, networks and experience will help guide us through the transition from project-based initiative to long-term organisation. We’re especially interested in trustees with: • Access to values-aligned philanthropic supporters (in arts, participatory democracy, public deliberation, policy advocacy or art sales) • Experience in charity governance, management, or finance • Skills in marketing, comms, digital strategy, or brand growth • Strategic operations or scaling social enterprises • Creative income generation and business model development We’re building something disruptive but deeply strategic and we want trustees who are excited to roll up their sleeves and help guide its emergence. You don’t need prior board experience, just belief in the mission. You’ll join a creative and collaborative team shaping one of the UK’s most ambitious experiments in civic engagement. As a founding trustee, you will shape the direction, values and infrastructure of a new civic arts movement working to rebalance power through creativity and public voice. You will support our transition to registered charity status and help us build the operational, financial and governance backbone of a national-scale organisation. This is a crucial period of development and your insight, networks and expertise will be instrumental in helping us secure funding, grow sustainably and stay bold in our mission. You’ll also be contributing to a series of public art installations and referendum cycles designed to provoke real national dialogue and offer people meaningful, participatory alternatives to disengagement and disillusionment. This is a hands-on, high-influence opportunity to help shape how the arts and democracy evolve together.
