    Including everyone

    RWA recognises that each of us bring our experiences, our backgrounds and our own unique perspective to what we do. You may not have direct experience of a cultural organisation but you may have relevant experience in a different setting.

    We believe our work will be stronger with greater diversity and welcome applications from those who bring balance to our organisation. We, therefore, welcome applications from people with characteristics currently under-represented in our governance and will offer an interview to those who meet our minimum requirements and are global majority (including multi/dual mixed heritage); identify as non-binary, trans and/or LGBTQ+; have a recognised disability, or are neurodiverse.

    Inclusive recruitment’s aim is to remove barriers for people included in the above description, so that they have a more equitable opportunity of being invited for interview if they meet essential/desirable criteria. 

    About the RWA
    Located in a spectacular Grade II* listed building in the heart of the city of Bristol, the RWA is the UK's only Royal Academy of Art housed in its own, original, purpose-built gallery. We are proud to bring world-class visual art from around the world to the south-west and we have done so since 1844. Our vision is to be a place that welcomes, inspires, and enriches the lives of all people from all communities and all backgrounds through Art and Creativity.

    Volunteer with us

    So much of what we do is thanks to our dedicated team of volunteers. From taking care of our visitors, to assisting our workshop leaders, every single volunteer makes a valuable difference to the RWA.
