This is our campaign to highlight the value of art in our schools. The four statements, which are currently plastered on billboards across London, speak to our concerns that art is being squeezed out of the school curriculum and devalued as a subject, all at a time when the need for creative and divergent thinking has never been greater. If you think imagination is worth teaching, share this campaign and add your support below. Art is a serious subject. https://roy.ac/746us0l6

A place where art is made, exhibited and debated.
About us
An independent institution, The Royal Academy of Arts exists to promote art and artists – a mission we pursue through exhibitions, education and debate. We have a lot in common with other museums and galleries, and while the diversity of our exhibitions programme sets us apart, a few other factors also make the RA a unique institution. We promote not just the appreciation and understanding of art, but also its practice. We are home to Britain’s first art school, the RA Schools; our three-year postgraduate course is one of the most competitive in the country, and we are proud to offer free tuition to all who study here. We are artist-run. Just as when we were founded in 1768, we are led by many of the greatest artists and architects of the day. Known as Royal Academicians, they are all practising artists who help to steer our vision and support our activities. Lastly, we are an independent charity, and unlike most of our peers we do not receive revenue funding from the government and so we are reliant upon the support of visitors, donors, sponsors, and the loyal Friends of the Royal Academy to continue our work.

Huge thanks to BNP Paribas' AccessArt25 programme for sponsoring this wonderful event ❤️
Making art accessible for all #BNPParibasAccessArt25 🎨 BNP Paribas has supported art and culture around the world for over 30 years. As the bank for a changing world, we want to help break down barriers that young people (aged 16 – 25) may face in accessing art. We are proud to be sponsoring the Michael Craig-Martin Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts. Sir Michael Craig-Martin RA is a key figure in British art, one of the most influential artists and teachers of his generation who has filled the Royal Academy of Arts with colour in his latest exhibition. On Saturday 5 October, as part of our support for the exhibition, and to help us to continue to break down barriers young people may face when accessing art, we hosted our #BNPParibasAccessArt25 event. A programme which has been running since 2019 and this year saw over 2100 young people book tickets to attend. The day involved free access to the exhibition, as well as workshops and immersive experiences: from life drawing: a homage to Old Masters, screen-printing visual alphabets, the "oak tree" workshop, wall drawings, a talk with Michael Craig-Martin himself and more! We were delighted to learn that this year 87% of attendees were new to the programme and hope that through events such as these we can empower our future generations.
