The Royal Society of British Artists
The Royal Society of British Artists advocates the highest standards of skill, expression and concept throughout the visual arts. We represent 'leading edge' artists who employ a sound knowledge and application of draughtsmanship as the basis of their work. Our annual exhibition at the prestigious Mall Galleries in London, together with other regional and international members' exhibitions we hold throughout the year, promote a renaissance of core aesthetic values within the visual arts. The Royal Society of British Artists also works with schools, colleges and universities to uphold these principles within education and to encourage excellence in the development of emerging artists.
Success at the RBA | ||
The demonstrations were very successful and enjoyed by those who came especially to watch, and by others who called in to see the work and stayed. As each year the show came to it's close with a hugely popular candlelight supper where members and non-members got together over fine food and wine. Thank you to all for showing such fine work with us and to everyone who helped make this an exhibition to remember. |
