Members' Month
Throughout May we're celebrating Friends and Members of the RA with a month-long series of special events and offers.
May is Members’ Month
Take part in life drawing in our historic Life Room, uncover the RA’s place as a hub for contemporary art, or go behind the scenes in the Keeper’s House to explore our new featured selling displays.
As an independent charity, it’s your generous support that means we can continue to be an academy for artists, art-makers and art lovers. Thank you.
Eating and drinking
Celebrate this May with a Spanish feast at the José Pizarro restaurant in our Senate Room. Book via the link below to enjoy a complimentary glass of Rimarts 18 Cava when you dine with us during the month.
Join us in the members’ café on the main floor of the Keeper’s House every Friday from 6-9pm this May for a 15% discount on selected drinks with complimentary nibbles.
Our set two or three-course menu features seasonal dishes and is available in the Academicians’ Room and the Shenkman Bar from 1 – 31 May.
