Patrons are invited to a special reception to meet the Rebecca Salter PRA - the first female President of the Royal Academy of Arts.

Rebecca Salter was elected as the 27th President of the Royal Academy on 10 December, after being voted in by fellow Royal Academicians and will succeed Christopher Le Brun PPRA.

Join us to hear about her plans for the new direction of the Royal Academy, alongside drinks and a private view of our main gallery exhibition.

Accepting the role, Rebecca Salter said she was honoured by the appointment and described it as “a tremendously exciting time to become President. I look forward to working with my fellow Academicians, our staff and our many supporters to help the RA to evolve while keeping art, architecture and debate at the heart of what we do.”

A leading painter and printmaker, Salter was elected as Royal Academician in 2014. In 2017 she became Keeper of the Royal Academy, with the responsibility of guiding the RA Schools.
