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. Maintain a collection, archive and library relating to the history of Scottish art and the activities of the Academy. Recognised as a Collection of National Significance by the Scottish Government, we make our collections publicly accessible. Encourage and support emerging artists and architects. Inform national debates about visual, cultural and educational issues. Promote Scotland's creativity internationally. Facilitate understanding and appreciation of the visual arts.
