Senior and Honorary Academicians
Senior Academicians
Senior Academicians are Royal Academicians over the age of 75. They retain their full voting rights, but are no longer eligible to serve as Officers or on the Academy’s Committees. Artists over the age of 75 who are elected as Royal Academicians automatically become Senior Academicians. There are currently around 30 Senior RAs.
