Support the Royal Ulster Academy

For more than 145 years, the Royal Ulster Academy has championed artists, inspired audiences and presented one of Ireland's leading annual exhibitions of contemporary visual art.

As an independent registered charity, every exhibition, education programme and public initiative relies on the generosity of individuals, businesses, trusts and public funders who believe in the value of the visual arts.

Your support helps us inspire the next generation of artists, create opportunities for established and emerging talent, and ensure that the Academy continues to thrive for years to come.

Every contribution makes a lasting difference. Thank you for supporting the Royal Ulster Academy.

We recommend consulting with a solicitor or professional advisor to ensure your wishes are clearly outlined in your will.
