The Friends of RCA was
established in 1985 to assist the Academy in achieving
its mandate. The Friends provide a wide range of support
to the Academy, including assistance in organizing,
fundraising, and providing public relations for exhibitions,
lectures, and other special RCA events. These activities
give the Friends a special opportunity to meet and
work with artists, and become familiar with their works
and activities. Corporate friends have been invaluable
to the RCA in sponsoring its activities and offering
assistance in presenting its programmes.

studios, and symposia.
