The Company
The RA dates way back to 1768 when a group of artists and architects persuaded King George lll to help them to establish a society for promoting the Artof Design. The original academy in Pall Mall was less than 10 meters long. Since then there have been many changes though the RAs core purpose of bringing art and design to a broad audience and championing art and artists still holds true.
Today we are a contemporary art organisation hosting internationally acclaimed exhibitions and through investment in employee training and development with courses such as Unconscious Bias LGBTQ Awareness Bystander and Mental Health First Aid training we are striving to foster a safe space for everyone through positive action. We also have Employee Network Groups Ways In Groups and an Employee Council so every employee has a voice and a way to feel heard by colleagues through the CEO.
The RA is truly a unique place both as an attraction to our visitors but also as a workplace. Our people are at the heart of all we do and we support a broad and inspiring mix of departments; from exhibitions curators art handlers researchers publishers and digital to schools and education visitor welcome fundraisers and corporate support.
