In 1821, the Birmingham Society of Artists was formed, whose objective was to establish a museum for works of art, provide facilities for students, hold public exhibitions and extend art education in the city of Birmingham. In 1868 Queen Victoria granted the Society Royal status, and it has held annual exhibitions with minor interruptions during the war years ever since.

The Royal Birmingham Society of Artists (RBSA) is an artist-led charity, which supports artists and promotes engagement with the visual arts through a range of inclusive activities, including exhibitions, workshops, demonstrations and other events.

The RBSA Gallery has a changing programme of exhibitions on two floors of gallery space that includes four ‘open’ exhibitions where artists can submit work for selection.  The ground floor has space for solo shows as well as a Craft Gallery, which has established a reputation as the place to find exciting and unique jewellery.
