An independent institution, The Royal Academy of Arts exists to promote art and artists – a mission we pursue through exhibitions, education and debate. We have a lot in common with other museums and galleries, and while the diversity of our exhibitions programme sets us apart, a few other factors also make the RA a unique institution. We promote not just the appreciation and understanding of art, but also its practice. We are home to Britain’s first art school, the RA Schools; our three-year postgraduate course is one of the most competitive in the country, and we are proud to offer free tuition to all who study here. We are artist-run. Just as when we were founded in 1768, we are led by many of the greatest artists and architects of the day. Known as Royal Academicians, they are all practising artists who help to steer our vision and support our activities. Lastly, we are an independent charity, and unlike most of our peers we do not receive revenue funding from the government and so we are reliant upon the support of visitors, donors, sponsors, and the loyal Friends of the Royal Academy to continue our work.
