About

The Royal Society of Sculptors

The Royal Society of Sculptors is an artist led, membership organisation. We support and connect sculptors throughout their careers and lead the conversation about sculpture today through exhibitions and events for all.

The Society was created more than 100 years ago to champion contemporary sculpture and the artists who create it. Today we welcome everyone interested in exploring this art form and its many possibilities.

We are based in London’s South Kensington, a few minutes’ walk from its great museums, in a beautiful listed building called Dora House. Come and join in the conversation, through exhibitions, artists’ talks and creative workshops . We invite you to view the world from a different perspective, to dig deep into the practice of individual sculptors and to challenge the way you think.

The Society provides a supportive membership community to sculptors throughout their careers, offering access to expert advice, training, bursaries, residencies and awards. Read more about the benefits of becoming a member.

Dora House is also available to hire for events, from drinks receptions and small conferences to creative workshops and training sessions. Read more about venue hire.
