Welcome to the
New RA
royalacademy.org.uk

In May 2018 we opened an expanded RA campus with
wonderful new facilities for students and teachers.

New spaces and exhibits put the spotlight on how art is
made. Displays in the Vaults underneath the RA’s Main
Galleries show how artists in the past learned to draw at
the RA by copying casts and studying anatomy. Curated
shows of work by current post-graduate students in
the RA Schools are on view in the new Weston Studio.
Upstairs in Burlington Gardens, paintings, drawings and
casts of ancient sculptures in our Collection Gallery
illuminate the RA’s beginnings in the late 1700s.

When your students come to the RA, they are artists and
we provide them with space to explore and experiment.
All our workshops will now take place in the Clore
Learning Centre, a purpose-built studio space with
double-height ceilings and abundant natural light.

Tours, visits and workshops for students bring our
ambitious programme of exhibitions to life. In January
2019 we are offering workshops for primary and
secondary schools and FE colleges focusing on themes
from our Collection – portraiture and self-portraiture,
sketchbooks and working from 2D to 3D. Our school
workshops now extend into the summer term, giving
more time for you and your students to visit.

And we invite you, teachers, to enjoy our private views,
workshops and evening studios just for teachers and
explore all the rich resources at the RA.                                          ‘It is the best thing our
