The Society
Dating back to the early 1800's, the RBSA is one of the oldest art societies in the UK and officially formed as the Birmingham Society of Artists in 1821.
The RBSA has a central governing body, the RBSA Council, and a membership of elected artists, RBSA Members and Associates. The RBSA also has a Friends membership which is open for artists and visitors who want to contribute to the arts community in Birmingham.
RBSA Archive
The RBSA was established in 1814 with the Collection & Archive dating to the early 1800’s. There is an ongoing acquisitions programme and the Collection has grown significantly in the last 20 years. It includes drawings, paintings, prints, sculpture, ceramics and jewellery.
