Exhibitions
Members and Associates
Until 24 December
Right up until Christmas Eve, we’re holding our annual RBSA Members and Associates Exhibition, displaying the varied artistic talent represented at the RBSA, with most of the pieces for sale.
Stellar
until 2 Feb 2019
Inspired by the wonder and mystery of stars and space, this display on our ground floor is unashamedly focused on all things bright, twinkly, and sparkly.
Featuring hand-made jewellery in precious metals, ceramics and lustrous glazes, and textiles in plush fabrics, with a range of prices. What better place to visit for some Xmas shopping?
StART Exhibition
29 December – 9 February 2019
Original artwork by RBSA artists all priced at £300 and under – a great starting point for budding art collectors, and much less stressful than the January sales!

Don’t miss the associated Studio Sale event!
