How to suggest a SIG

Any SAR member (individual members or employees and students of SAR member institutions) may suggest, found, and moderate a SIG. SIGs are open to all SAR individual members and employees and students of SAR member institutions.

Express your interest with a short proposal, including the names of the group coordinator(s) and at least three confirmed group members who are also SAR members. Send your proposal to communication@societyforartisticresearch.org.

Exchange and activity

SIGs offer focused frameworks for long-term engagement around specific topics, methods, or questions in artistic research. Each SIG conducts a particular activity, theme, or focus area in affiliation with SAR. The work feeds back into the resources available to the SAR community and the wider artistic research field.

SIGs at the SAR International Conference

At the yearly conference, SIGs have a dedicated timeslot for both public presentations and internal meetings. At the 2025 conference in Porto, six SIGs participated. The Forum on Artistic Research continues to feature SIG presentations and meetings each year.
