Royal West of England Academy (RWA), Bristol’s original public gallery and regional centre of arts excellence, is invigorating its offer to businesses that are seeking to promote their brand and services, or are looking for a distinctive venue for hosting corporate events.
“Great art continuously inspires. Great business leaders continuously aspire,” says Asif Khan, RWA head of development. 
“The Royal West of England Academy’s patrons have included Prince Consort Albert and Isambard Kingdom Brunel. From The Great Exhibition to SS Great Britain, entrepreneurs with clarity of vision and mission have understood the importance of engaging and captivating audiences through creativity, design and innovation. RWA embodies the royal standard of these values and prides itself as Bristol’s premier cultural venue for hosting corporate events.
RWA has a proud tradition of collaborating with progressive legal, financial and property service businesses. We would like to add Bristol’s vibrant and emerging digital technology, advertising, gaming, film, aerospace and green energy firms to our distinguished roll call. RWA’s unrivalled heritage, stunning gallery rooms and beautiful balcony overlooking the Victoria fountains set it apart as a superior location for companies wishing to impress their audiences and clients or to reward their business colleagues, employees and their families.”
Corporate sponsorship opportunities include RWA’s prestigious Annual Open Exhibition from October to December 2015, which will feature works by nearly 350 artists and be experienced by more than 10,000 visitors.
The Academy’s audience profile demonstrates a majority of high-income earners and, encouragingly, a growing number of young people as a result of free entry for students and under-16s allied with a strong schools education outreach programme.
