Royal Society of Sculptors The Royal Society of Sculptors has over 650 national and international professional sculptor members. Our mission is to raise the profile of sculpture in all its forms.

We host awards, exhibitions and associated talks, lectures and events and organise an active programme in partnership with others.

You will be joining at an exciting time. We have recently launched a new name and brand identity, but these changes are only part of the story. Our ambition is to be a leading centre for sculpture and 3D art from our base, Dora House, in South Kensington. We will soon be beginning a fundraising campaign to transform Dora House.
