The Royal Academy of Arts is celebrating its 250th anniversary. While its mission to champion the practice of art remains the same, the way it pursues its mission must change with the times rather than expecting audiences to come to it. As such, the Royal Academy of Arts is launching LifeDrawingLive, which will be the first ever live-streamed life drawing class, as a new way to bring art to audiences.

can’t look the same as it did in
1768.

We have to find new ways to go to
our audiences, rather than expecting
them to come to us.
