The Althea Wynne Bursary

Althea Wynne, FRSA, a noted Wiltshire sculptor who worked in bronze and clay, died together with her husband Anthony Barrington Brown in a traffic accident in January 2012. Throughout her career Althea was generous in sharing her considerable skill in teaching others and her enthusiasm was an inspiration for many. Anthony was a professional photographer working in both still and moving images and was a Fellow of the Royal…

An event @ICALondon hosted by #FRSA London and the RSA's Fellows Artists’ Network: Is the Fourth Plinth a model for achieving change, or is it a space dedicated to art for art’s sake?  Follow this storify of an event in January 2013

Every now and again I have a really inspiring meeting that draws together common threads from our work in Arts and Society with thinking from other people and the wider world.  Yesterday was one such day. I was meeting the artist Lucy Steggals about the Creative Intersections project we are doing with King’s College London…

Mike Moseling, RSA South East Treasurer and Surrey Fellow wrote this update on the event:

"Sixty-three Surrey fellows and their guests packed into the newly refurbished Watts Gallery near Guildford to hear Pam Alexander, OBE, FRSA talk about the arts as a tool of regeneration, and Perdita Hunt DL the Director of the Gallery talk about the gallery and the work of the founders GF Watts and his wife.

Pam Alexander demonstrated how the arts have been fundamental to the…

‘Soil Culture’ is an entirely new, ambitious year-long programme, launching at Easter 2013, at the Centre for Contemporary Art and the Natural World.  It will use the work of both established and emerging artists to inspire a deeper understanding in the wider public of the importance of soil – a resource on which our entire civilisation depends.

As a medium for healthy growth, the shaping of our historically built environment, a provider of a wide range of raw materials (sand, clay,…

Thanks for the opportunity to think about this network's future.

From my own perspective this network when it was active served many valuable purposes - in fact on a visit to London, I rather pressed Will Shaw who was writing and looking after the RSA Arts & Ecology blog to set this network up (I was managing a 5 county art online site site here in Ireland) so I knew the value of bringing together and highlighting creative practitioners works and presenting new ideas. Many of the…

I enjoyed being part of this network but it seemed to flare into being then die back very quickly. At its time of fading, a number of other networks distracted me: ecology/climate & culture networks including A Case for Optimism, Tipping Point, the Dark Mountain project, Common Cause etc and some smaller or more temporary initiatives: wellbeing/education and culture networks such as The Plays the Thing (Pat Kane…

For some time now we have been considering ways to refresh and add energy to this site and continue an arts based conversation for Fellows.  With a recent review of all RSA social networks it seems opportune to consider moving this online network forward for the future rather than create a new online space.

Therefore we would appreciate your views to shape this space and suggestions (and volunteers to help take us forward) to keep the arts conversation…

I'm becoming earth.

It's an occasion for mirth.

I have rocks

In my socks,

And plants
