| Organisation
Background: |
Founded in 1768, the Royal Academy of Arts is the oldest arts institution in Britain, the only one governed by artists and where art is created, exhibited, taught and sold on one site. It is an independent organisation that receives no annual government grant or public funding, being entirely supported by the general public and grants from charitable bodies.
