Royal Academy of Arts

Located between London’s Piccadilly and Burlington Gardens, the Royal Academy of Arts is a place where art is made, exhibited and debated. It is the home of the Summer Exhibition, which showcases over 1,000 fabulous works by members of the public and leading contemporary artists every year. As well as temporary art exhibitions, it has free spaces to explore the 250-year-old RA Collection, cafés, shops and restaurants, and a working art school.

The RA is an independent charity. It relies on the support of its visitors and supporters, who help it to continue to be an academy for artists, art-makers and art lovers.
