Patronage of HRH the Prince of Wales
The Royal Cambrian Academy of Art is proud and delighted to announce that His Royal Highness The Prince of Wales has accepted an invitation to become its Patron.
Professor Maurice Cockrill RA, former President of the Royal Cambrian Academy said:
“Everyone at the RCA is delighted that His Royal Highness has accepted this invitation. The Academy has gone from strength to strength since moving to a purpose built gallery in the centre of Conwy in the 1990s. We now have over one hundred Artist Members and an ambitious programme of educational activities and historical and contemporary exhibitions. The Patronage of HRH The Prince of Wales signifies the growing stature of the Royal Cambrian Academy as a centre for artistic excellence.”
