Royal West of England Academy of Art

This is a partial list of Royal West of England Academicians also known as RWA Academicians. The academicians of the Royal West of England Academy (RWA), the oldest public art gallery in Bristol[1] and the UK’s only regional Royal Academy of Art.[2]

Academicians have post-nominals: RWA, PRWA, PPRWA, VPRWA or HonRWA (depending on their membership type). A full list is available on the web pages of the RWA's website.[3]

Note. Associate RWA membership has been discontinued and successful candidates are elected directly to full RWA Academician status.
