Hold a corporate event at the RA
Situated in the heart of Mayfair, the RA is the perfect venue for client hospitality and special events as well as conferences and performances.
Our Corporate Members and Partners have the exclusive benefit of out-of-hours access to our Gallery spaces.
Recent Corporate Partnerships include...
BNP Paribas was the headline sponsor of Antony Gormley in 2019. Through this sponsorship, BNP Paribas enabled 3,000 young people to visit the exhibition during three special evening events, as part of the BNP Paribas AccessArt25 programme.
During the Covid-19 pandemic, WeTransfer collaborated with the RA to make the Summer Exhibition accessible to its global audience of 60 million creatives. The 1,172 artworks from the Summer Exhibition were uploaded to the WeTransfer homepage. Stumbling upon new artworks randomly via the click of a mouse, WeTransfer created a virtual exhibition experience.
RA visitors are passionate about travelling, taking an average of four or more trips abroad every year. By sponsoring Picasso and Paper Viking, the small ship exploration company, was able to reach this audience of mature and culturally curious travellers as well as giving their loyal guests a taste of the Viking experience closer to home. Following the success of the exhibition, the RA has become one of Viking’s key cultural partners. Activation has included sponsorship of exhibitions and the RA Collection, onsite ‘Privileged Access’ events and content creation for Viking’s magazines, social media channels and the digital enrichment platform Viking.TV.
