  • About the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers

    Originally known as the Society of Painter-Etchers, the Royal Society of Painter-Printmakers (RE) was founded in 1880.
    We received our Royal Charter from Queen Victoria in 1888 and we changed our name in 1991 to embrace a broader range of printmaking practices, but we have retained the abbreviation RE to this day as our identity.
    We are extremely proud of our history, but printmaking is a dynamic and forward-looking pursuit and the current membership contains some of the most innovative and creative artists working in every print-based medium imaginable.
    The RE aims to create long-term opportunities for artists and promote printmaking to a wider audience.
