Welcome to the Friends of the Royal Academy online

I do not think there is a more pleasurable or fulfilling thing to be than a Friend of the Royal Academy. I am passionate about the Royal Academy and think it stands for all the very best in British cultural life. There is nowhere else like it on earth.

Your Support is our Future

The RA is a self-supporting charity, which receives no revenue funding from the government. It is the support of our Friends that helps us to continue our work and remain a centre of visual arts in the UK.

As well as enabling us to develop our exhibition programme, your generosity means we can continue to conserve the nation's artistic heritage through our Collections, Library and Archive, and nurture the next generation of artists through the RA Schools.

Thank You
