The Royal Canadian Academy of Arts (RCA), a national nonprofit
institution, is one of Canada’s most enduring cultural
entities. RCA members are professional artists working in
twenty disciplines in the visual arts. Traditionally, the
Academy has been governed, in all its aspects, by a national
council composed of delegates from all parts of Canada allowing
for representation, on a rotating basis, of both the rich
variety of disciplines in the membership and their regional
locations. RCA Executive

Council In 2004, the Academy embarked on a strategic review of all components of the organization. In accordance with current nonprofit governance practice, a new structure for the management of the RCA will emerge. The new Governing Council comprised of eight Academicians and four non-members chosen for their expertise in management and administration will assume responsibility for non-artistic governance. Artistic matters will be the responsibility of the Membership Committee, the Activities Committees, and the Special Events Committee respectively. The RCA Executive Committee will be comprised of the President, the 1st Vice President, 2nd Vice President, and two non-RCA members fulfilling the roles of Secretary and Treasurer. The review of the organization produced a new Mission statement: To CELEBRATE the achievement of excellence and innovation by visual artists across Canada, ENCOURAGE new generations of artists, and FACILITATE the exchange of ideas about visual culture, for the benefit of all Canadians. The committee structure of the Governing Council responds directly to the RCA Mission:
