The RWA Invites the Friends of the RWA to a very special Winter Celebration.
Join us on Wednesday 09 December for a festive celebration at the RWA to celebrate you, our supporters, and look back on a momentous year at the RWA as well as ahead to an exciting and ambitious 2027.
View our 173 Annual Open Exhibition and 'Celebrating Together: RSA/RWA' after hours, treat yourself to a glass of fizz, and catch up with us behind the scenes.
You are very welcome to bring a non-RWA Friend with you to this event, be it a friend, partner, or someone who is interested in joining us and learning more about the work we do.
We look forward to seeing you there!
