Hear it straight from the RSA Fellowship…
Lynsey Shaw FRSA
In 2020, singer-songwriter, producer, and multimedia storyteller Lynsey Shaw joined the RSA Fellowship. After completing her MA in Film and Cultural Heritage and spending time working in the US, she was keen to reconnect with a creative community.
If you want to improve something, you have to contribute. When you act, like-minded people are drawn to you. You need people to make change and being a Fellow helped me get heard.
Fred Bassett FRSA
Commercial strategist and entrepreneur Fred Bassett became an RSA Fellow in 2001 after advising on an RSA conference about the internet’s impact on creative industries. Two decades later, Fred has rediscovered the RSA’s ability to build a local network that can inspire and generate action.
You get out of this network what you put in. If you engage actively – attending events, contributing ideas – you’ll find the RSA gives back more than you invest.
