"The Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture is an independent Scottish Charity which receives no funding from national or local government. Founded in 1826 we are an Academy of prominent artists and architects whom administer opportunities for Scotland’s creative community through our exhibitions, travel awards, scholarships and residencies. We support educational development with school children through our RSA Schools Art Competition and undergraduate students in Scotland through a lecture and engagements programmes. This also includes presenting 60 new graduates at the acclaimed RSA New Contemporaries exhibition at the RSA galleries in Spring each year.
In addition, we work within the healthcare sector, partnering with the art collections of Edinburgh and Lothian Health Foundation and Orkney NHS Trust. Our collection of Scottish Art is Recognised by the Scottish Government as a Collection of National Significance and we collect, conserve, exhibit and develop these important archives for the people of Scotland.
With no regular funding, all of this work is achieved by the receipt of donations, legacies and bequests to enable these interesting and valued activities to happen. As we approach our 200th anniversary in 2026 we continue to provide and expand upon these achievements - developing further opportunities for creative practice in Scotland. The results of our work are encountered and enjoyed by a huge range of visitors, participants, partners and creatives across our entire nation.
Bequests provide us with the means to secure sometimes very small, but crucial, projects such as conservation of historic objects or paintings. Legacies and living legacies are instrumental in our being able to engage with the artists and wider public in Scotland to make a difference for support and enjoyment.
Bequests and legacies ensure that our work continues and we promote these opportunities, and those providing them, through our exhibitions, publications, website and media platforms.
We thank McClure Solicitors for their partnership and diligence in this area, working with us to assist secure these initiatives for future generations." Colin R Greenslade, Director, Royal Scottish Academy of Art & Architecture.
