Royal Scottish Academy supports art and architecture in Scotland. Founded in 1826, we are an independent, non-governmental charitable institution led by our Academicians. Royal Scottish Academicians are prominent artists and architects elected by their peers who govern the RSA on a democratic basis. We believe that creativity in art and architecture is valuable to the nation. Diploma talk with Paul Stallan RSA Supporting creative process We support artists and architects in their creative process. To achieve this, we: Uphold best practice in contemporary Scottish art and architecture.
