RBSA Friends’ Events

Artwork Appraisal

Sunday 25 January 2.00pm – 4.00pm

We are delighted to announce the next Friends Artwork Appraisal Event, which will take place in the Gallery on Sunday 25 January. Giving advice and answering questions will be Kate Sawbridge ARBSA and Lawrence Green ARBSA.

Artwork Appraisals offer our Friends the chance to bring their work to the Gallery and discuss it with artists from within the RBSA Membership. As well as receiving practical tips on how to improve technique, participating Friends will also be given valuable advice and guidance on how to progress their career.

Book Your Place

Our Appraisals are completely free and exclusive to RBSA Friends.

Places on our Artwork Appraisals are allocated on a strictly first come, first served basis so, if you would like to attend, please email our Friends Coordinator, who will reply to confirm your place: friends@rbsa.org.uk 

You will be able to bring up to two pieces of work with you and, if time allows, you may be able to discuss both.
