History
The Royal Academy was formed to rival the Society of Artists after an unseemly leadership dispute between two leading architects, Sir Joseph Palmer and James Paine.

Activities
The Royal Academy does not receive financial support from the state or crown. One of its principal sources of revenue is hosting temporary public art exhibitions. These are of the highest quality, comparable to those at the National Gallery, the Tate Gallery and leading art galleries outside the United Kingdom. Tate is the United Kingdom 's national museum of British and Modern Art and is a network of four art galleries in England: Tate Britain (opened in The United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, commonly known as the United Kingdom, the UK or Britain,is a Sovereign state located In 2004 the highlights of the Academy's permanent collection went on display in the newly restored reception rooms of the original section of Burlington House, which are now known as the "John Madejski Fine Rooms". For the New York City skycraper see Burlington House (New York City Burlington House is a building on Piccadilly in London John Robert Madejski OBE DL (born Robert John Hurst on April 28 1941 in Stoke-on-Trent) is an English businessman
Under the Direction of the Exhibitions Secretary Norman Rosenthal the Academy has hosted ambitious exhibitions of contemporary art including in 1997 "Sensation" the collection of work by Young British Artists owned by Charles Saatchi. Sir Norman Rosenthal (born 1944 is a British Curator. Life and work Norman Rosenthal was the child of Jewish refugees from Nazi occupied Europe Sensation was an Exhibition of Young British Artists which first took place 18 September &ndash 28 December 1997 at the Royal Academy of Art in London Young British Artists or YBAs (also Charles Saatchi (born June 9, 1943) ( Arabic: تشارلز ساعاتجي) was the co-founder with his brother Maurice of the global The show created controversy for including a painting of Myra Hindley that was vandalised while on display. Myra Hindley (23 July 1942 &ndash 15 November 2002 was an English Serial killer convicted along with her lover Ian Brady, of killing four children between
The Academy also hosts an annual Royal Academy summer exhibition of new art, which is a well known event on the London social calendar. The Summer Exhibition is an open Art exhibition held annually by the Royal Academy in Burlington House, Piccadilly in central London The social season or Season has historically referred to the annual period when it is customary for members of the British social Elite of society to hold Debutante It is not as fashionable as was the case in earlier centuries, and has been largely ignored by the trendy Brit Artists and their patrons; however Tracey Emin exhibited in the 2005 show. Young British Artists or YBAs (also Tracey Emin RA (born 3 July, 1963) is an English Artist of Turkish Cypriot origin one of the group known as Britartists In March 2007 this relationship developed further when Tracey Emin accepted the Academy's invitation to become a Royal Academician, commenting in her weekly newspaper column that, "It doesn't mean that I have become more conformist; it means that the Royal Academy has become more open, which is healthy and brilliant. Tracey Emin RA (born 3 July, 1963) is an English Artist of Turkish Cypriot origin one of the group known as Britartists "[1]
Anyone who wishes may submit pictures for inclusion and those which are selected are displayed alongside the works of the Academicians. Many of the works are available for purchase.
In 2004 the Academy attracted press and media attention for a series of financial scandals and reports of a feud between Rosenthal and other senior staff that resulted in the cancellation of what would have been profitable exhibitions. [2] In 2006, it attracted further press by erroneously placing only the support for a sculpture on display in the belief that it was the sculpture, and then justifying it being kept on display. [3]
In late 2007, the director of the National Gallery, Charles Saumarez Smith, is due to take over as head of the Royal Academy in a newly created post as secretary and chief executive. Charles Robert Saumarez Smith CBE (born May 28, 1954 in Redlynch, England) is a British art historian. [4]
The Academy has received many gifts and bequests of objects and money. Many of these gifts were used to establish Trust Funds to support the work of the Royal Academy Schools by providing "Premiums" to students displaying excellence in various artistic genre. The rapid changes that pulsed through 20th century art have left some of the older prize funds looking somewhat anachronistic. But efforts are still made to award each prize to a student producing work that bears a relation to the intentions of the original benefactor.
Royal Academy Schools
The Academy runs a postgraduate art school and a research library. The Royal Academy Schools, the country's oldest art school, is based in Burlington House. There are generally two exhibitions every year of work by Royal Academy students. [5]
Membership
Full membership of the academy is limited to 80 Academicians or "RAs", who may be painters, printmakers, sculptors, or architects, and must be "professionally active in Britain". Painting (pān'tīng in Art, is the practice of applying Color to a Surface (support base such as e Printmaking is the Process of making artworks by Printing, normally on Paper. An architect is a licensed individual who leads a design team in the Planning and Design of buildings and participates in oversight of Building Construction
The Academy's rules are that there must always be at least 14 sculptors, 12 architects, and 8 printmakers; the balance being made up of 46 painters. New Academicians are elected by the existing RAs, and originally had to enter a Diploma Work representative of their œuvre. To become a full member some artistic academies formally require an artist to produce a work of art (usually a painting representative of their œuvre which the academy will then keep
Apart from kudos of being elected, full members of the Academy may expect to serve for a time on the governing council of the Academy, and to take part in various committees. Each room in the Summer Exhibition is generally hung by a different R. A.
In common with certain other Royal societies, election as President of the Royal Academy (P. R. A. ) practically guarantees a knighthood, if the President is not already of that rank. Knight is the English term for a social position originating in the Middle Ages.
A larger number of Associates of the Royal Academy (designated "A. R. A. ") are also elected, but being an A. R. A. is not a prerequisite to full membership.
Members of the public can also join the Royal Academy as "Friends" by making a financial donation; outside of public exhibitions, this is one of the RA's main sources of income.
