Royal Scottish Academy: 200 Years of Art in Angus

Founded in 1826, the Royal Scottish Academy supports art and architecture in Scotland. It is an independent, non-governmental institution, governed by Members to operate on a charitable basis. The RSA run a year-round programme of exhibitions, artist opportunities and events from the Mound, Edinburgh, and care for a nationally recognised collection. The RSA support artists and architects through awards, residencies, scholarships and bursaries.

In 2026 the RSA will celebrate its 200th anniversary. It is marking this occasion nationwide with RSA200: Celebrating Together. This partnership project will bring hundreds of artists, partners, galleries and institutions together for an extraordinary year of exhibitions, events and performances.

This exhibition will explore and celebrate the enduring legacy of the Royal Scottish Academy and its connection to Angus artists.

It will feature a rich selection of work from past RSA academicians held in the Angus collection, presented alongside key loans from contemporary academicians, Michael Visocchi and Ian McKenzie Smith.
