This is a fascinating place which I think is perhaps not as well known as it should be, it is only a small gallery(a few rooms) but it has a changing range of exhibitions and events. The current one is by the academians of the RSA, which means that you can view a range of pieces from different artists who are RSA members, at different parts of their career. I was happy to see an Adrian Wiszniewski piece which was huge and done in biro, who would have thought that a proper artist would use biro?!? I also liked the John Mackechnie architectural works. It is free to visit, but you can actually purchase the art on the walls(either as a one off purchase or through the ‘Own Art’ installment scheme). Each year they have the RSA Open which anyone can apply to; this exhibition for this is well worth a look as it includes such a variety of work, it takes place from November to February.

I’ve always known of this art gallery as the Royal Scottish Academy, and find the«friends» quite comical! Having read a little about it though, the words«friend» «benefactors» and«supporter» seem to be quite important to this academy, as it’s privately funded. Location wise, it’s not too far off the beaten track for well loved Edinburgh tourist(…) as it’s just off Princes Street, at the Mound. The gallery houses all sorts of contemporary Scottish art, and if you’ve read any of my other gallery reviews, me saying I LOVESCOTTISHART will start sound quite repetitive, but I do. The Diploma Collection is pretty amazing, and the concept behind it(of it containing at least one piece by a member of the academy, approved by all other members) is quite simply, for a lack of better word. freakin awesome! And a little bit cultish.

The Royal Scottish Academy, apary from being a fabulous neo-classical building, is always worth a visit. The quality and diversity of its exhibitions is incredible, from the Monet exhibition of a few years ago to this summer’s Warhol. There’s also a great balance of contemporary and traditional exhibitions, Scottish and international.
