Benefactors

Why become a Benefactor?

Benefactor donations are essential to us to secure the future success of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers. Planning for future diverse and exciting exhibitions is underway.  

Donations from our benefactors also fund our student program ‘Young miniaturists’ ages 14-17 and 18-30, who are or intend to pursue careers in the arts. Your support can make a real difference to young people’s lives.
