The Royal Academy of Arts, founded in 1768, is an artist-led organization that champions art and artists. The academy is located in Piccadilly, UK, and has subsidiaries in the United Kingdom. The academy's collection tells the story of leading artists and architects, and it offers a range of free activities and resources to support teachers, students, and young people to engage with art and artists. The academy hosts the Summer Exhibition every year since 1769, displaying works in a variety of mediums and genres by emerging and established artists. The academy also offers artist-led workshops, galleries full of art and architecture, and at-home art activities for families, and kids under 16 go free to all exhibitions.
