For over 250 years, the Royal Academy of Arts (RA) has existed to champion art and artists. The RA was founded in 1768 by a group of 40 artists and architects who became the first Royal Academicians. Run by the Royal Academicians (artists and architects elected by their peers in recognition of their exceptional work) the RA is home to Britain’s longest established art school, the RA Schools. Every year since 1768 they have held an annual Summer Exhibition, the largest open-submission art exhibition in the world. The RA presents their collection of art and architecture in free displays. And they put on world-class exhibitions of art from around the world, welcoming hundreds of thousands of people to their galleries each year. Learn more about RA> 

 

Located in London, England, the RA Schools has been a key part of the Royal Academy since its foundation in 1769. They offer a full-time, three-year programme to 10–17 postgraduate students each year (free tuition).  

 

In this studio-based academic programme, critical discussion is developed through lectures, group critiques, tutorials and artist talks. Given the high student-to-tutor ratio, each student’s art practice is subject to in-depth and sustained discussion. The RA Schools provides a shared space for exchange and discussion in the development of each student’s practice across contemporary fine art media.  

 

Their school is equipped with specialist facilities for a wide variety of processes, including casting, ceramics, woodwork, 2D and 3D printmaking, photography, and time-based media. They offer printmaking, sculpture, ceramics, digital print (among other) workshops and a photographic dark room, a digital media suite and studios.
