Education is an important element in any gallery experience and the RWA aims to supply programmes that provide quality art education in the gallery environment for all levels of ability, age and understanding. More details about forthcoming events and the types of activities we offer can be found on the Education pages.
The RWA is an established venue for the fine arts and embraces an artistic awareness of the widest nature. The exhibition programme provides a showcase for one man and mixed exhibitions in a variety of media, which attract large numbers of visitors nation-wide. The RWA is commissioning an Audience Development Plan as an integral part of a bid to the Heritage Lottery Fund for the phasing of a major development project to conserve and enhance the RWA facilities, i.e. its galleries, its heritage building and the collection and their future management.
The Academy is situated in the academic heart of Bristol where Queens Road meets Whiteladies Road. Please see the Contact the RWA link for an interactive map of Bristol indicating how to reach the RWA.
The Academy is open every day except Easter Sunday and 25 December - 3 January.
