The Royal Drawing School receives no public funding and we need to raise £2 million every year to continue to run our programmes.  Our inaugural appeal, 'Drawing Attention to the Concession Scheme', will help to ensure high-quality tuition in drawing is available to all, regardless of circumstance.

A generous friend of the School has agreed to match all donations we receive, so the more you feel comfortable giving, the greater impact it will have.

Our concessions scheme offers discounts of 10%-75%.  People who can benefit are art students, art teachers, early career artists, those on job seekers allowance or disability support, the local community of Tower Hamlets and Hackney and in some cases, artists over the age of 60.

In addition to the fee concessions the School provides, the full fee for any Public course is also subsidised. 

All proceeds from our 2016 campaign will go towards our Concession Scheme which will ensure our courses are affordable to those most in need.
