| Love the arts, Leave to the arts is a new initiative to encourage art lovers to leave a legacy to cultural charities. One of the most valuable gifts you can give someone is a legacy. After you have provided for family and friends, why not help continue our work for future generations and leave a percentage of your estate to The Royal Scottish Academy. You could reduce inheritance tax too. During February 2013, you will have the opportunity to get a basic will written, or amended, free of charge if you leave a legacy to an arts charity. Visit the “Love the arts, Leave to the arts” website to find out more. Love the Arts, Leave to the Arts |

| Scotland on Sunday 11 May 2008. At times I wonder if being a senior member of the Royal Scottish Academy these days might be a little like being a weary provincial bureaucrat in the early days of some emerging communist state. An endless round of committees to be cracked, old systems to be rethought and resolutions to be tabled. |

| Review by Moira Jeffrey, The Herald 09 April 2004. Change Will Do You Good Year after year I find myself banging on about whether that dull old dog The Royal Scottish Academy is ever going to learn some new tricks. So, it's fascinating to discover that the answer is yes – and that the evidence lies in Gallery IV of this year's annual show. The RSA was founded in 1826, not too long before the invention of photography, an art form in which Scotland would excel with the world famous Hill and Adamson. It has sure taken its time, but this year, for the first time in its history, the academy, traditionally the province of painters, sculptors, architects and, later, printmakers, is showing photographs. |

| Review by Duncan MacMillan. The Scotsman, 06. April 2004 178th RSA Annual Exhibition 2004 **** ROYAL SCOTTISH ACADEMY, EDINBURGH Meanwhile the Royal Scottish Academy (RSA) annual show comes round again - for the 178th time, in fact. There is a difference this year and one to celebrate. The Academy is back in the RSA, its home, and not only in the main rooms, but also in the new suite of rooms downstairs that have been created by the Playfair Project from the old Academy store rooms. It is historic, too, to see the Academy in these rooms for their footprint is in part that of the original Academy exhibition rooms that were lost when the new galleries were built within the shell of the old building 100 years ago. The return home is not without its difficulties. The National Gallery, as manager of the building, maintains an iron grip on what happens there. |
| STUDENT SHOW STATEMENT
Date story posted - 25 February 2004 |

|
|
| The following statements have been released by the Royal Scottish Academy and the Students whose work has been isolated for criticism in the press. The Exhibition is an exciting opportunity for the public to sample, in one venue, the progress of final year and post-graduate students of painting, sculpture, printmaking and architecture from the four Colleges/Schools of Art and six Schools/Departments of Architecture in Scotland. As well as offering the students an opportunity to showcase works, it provides, for them, an in-sight into the development of professional practice. There is no selection process - every student may submit one work. |
