The Royal Hibernian Academy of Arts is Ireland’s powerhouse of the Arts, steered by an artist-run Academy of our time. Our spirit is unyielding and vital, dedicated to unleashing the creative energy of the Arts. We are an integral part of the artistic life of this country. The RHA is dedicated to developing, affirming and challenging the public’s appreciation of traditional and innovative approaches to the visual arts. The Academy achieves its objectives through its exhibition, education and collection programmes. The Academy is funded by the Arts Council/An Chomhairle Ealaíon, through fundraising initiatives, through the earned revenue from its Annual Exhibition and by the Benefactors, Patrons and Friends of the Academy.
