This exhibition celebrates the extraordinary talent of the artist-tutors associated with the RWA Drawing School. The Drawing School is a thriving art studio where adults can discover and develop their creative skills under the guidance of expert teachers and professional artists. 

The RWA was designed for working artists, with purpose-built studios included in the original 1858 building. Today, the RWA Drawing School maintains the RWA's legacy as a space where art is both made and displayed.

Over a thousand people take Drawing School classes each year, fostering a vibrant creative community around the gallery. The artist-tutors featured in this exhibition teach a wide range of media and styles, from drawing, painting, and printing to sculpture and textiles. Click here to browse our current classes. 

The exhibition highlights their specialist skills and is an opportunity for everyone to find out more about the Drawing School or simply discover a work of art that they love.
