The Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) is an artist-led visual arts charity.  We are a registered charity (number 528894) and a company limited by guarantee.  We meet our charitable objects by providing a comprehensive artistic programme at the RBSA Gallery, wholly owned by the Society and open every day with free admission. 

Our ambition is to create and promote excellence in the fine arts.  We achieve this by supporting artists in the development of their practice, by encouraging participation in creative arts activities to develop future generations of artists, by promoting our artistic programme so it can be shared with the widest audiences, and by providing interpretation and events to help our audiences develop their knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the visual arts.
