RSA 200

In 2026, the Royal Scottish Academy will reach its 200th birthday.

 

As part of the event, the RSA will draw attention to the work of its female academicians and make this work more publicly accessible.​​

​

We are delighted to be supporting the RSA 200 project through our network with a public lecture, co-hosted with History of Art, University of Glasgow, which is being delivered by one of our members, Professor Alison Yarrington, a distinguished historian of sculpture from 18th-20th centuries.
