RA Schools Patrons

Providing the only three-year post graduate Fine Arts course in the UK, the Royal Academy Schools ensure that students can study without the encumbrance of fees.

Founded at the inception of the Academy in 1768 the Schools have been the cradle of the arts in Britain. The very Schools which nurtured the talents of Turner and Blake continue, with your support, to nurture new and great talent today. Schools Patrons are offered unparalleled access and it is the only way, without being a student yourself, to experience life at the core of this unique institution.
