Support the Society
Our Society is only able to continue thanks to the generous donations of benefactors and sponsors. Donations are essential to us to secure the future success of the Royal Society of Miniature Painters, Sculptors and Gravers.
Donations from our benefactors fund our exhibitions, and 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.
Please read on to learn more about the different ways you can help support the Society.
