Celebrating 25 Years Of The RBSA Gallery In The Jewellery Quarter.

Two groups of 25 individuals, including the President, Vice Presidents, Members, Associates, Graduate Artists, Gallery staff, and volunteers, have each selected an artwork or artefact from the collection; the brief being to choose something with which they felt a personal connection.
