Myriad Canada is working with the Royal Academy of Arts on this project, a registered UK charity whose mission is to aspire, in the words of its 18^th-century founders, to "promote the arts of design". It believes in learning through first-hand experience of the arts and is unique in its combination of practical work, exhibitions, and learning programmes.

Founded in 1768 under the patronage of King George III, the Royal Academy of Arts has played a pivotal role in shaping British art and culture. As the oldest independent art institution in the UK, it has been at the forefront of promoting and nurturing artistic talent for over 250 years. Its mission to elevate the practice of art was embodied by the establishment of its prestigious annual Summer Exhibition, which continues to provide a platform for emerging and established artists alike. The Royal Academy Schools, also part of its legacy, have trained some of the most influential artists in British history, including J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, and David Hockney. Additionally, the Academy has hosted landmark exhibitions, introducing the British public to global artistic movements and masters, from the Renaissance to modernism.
