RBSA Friends make up a significant part of the wider RBSA community and the Gallery hosts an exhibition of selected work by Friends annually. An ideal showcase for artists at all stages of their artistic careers, the exhibition is open to all active Friends working in any media.
A Friends subscription is the first step towards becoming an RBSA Associate, and the Gallery will be hosting numerous events throughout the exhibition for Friends to find out more about the Society and election process.
Having been in existence since the 1900s, the RBSA Friends scheme has led to a huge number of artists being inducted into the Membership. The scheme also offers a wide range of opportunities for artists and art lovers to participate in Society events as Gallery Stewards, members of installation and take down teams, and event organisers.
Anyone can sign up as an RBSA Friend; we welcome artists and art lovers as well as those who simply want to keep up to date with news from the Gallery. Full details of how to join can be found in our brochure or on our Friends page.
Private View: Thursday 9 January 6.00 – 8.00pm
How to Become an RBSA Associate: Sunday 12 January 2.00pm – 4.00pm
Artists’ Talks: Saturday 18 January and Saturday 1 February 2.00pm – 4.00pm
