Joint initiative between Design Council and RSA

A series of lectures established in the late 1990s to explore more controversial issues beyond the main lecture programme.

The Exhibition was held in the galleries of the Royal Academy and was organised jointly by the RSA and the Royal Academy. The objects of the exhibition were to 'impress upon the public the importance of good design in articles of everyday use; to show that British manufacturers, in co-operation with British artists, are capable of producing in all branches of industry, articles which combine artistic form with utility and sound workmanship; to encourage British artists to give to industry the benefit of their talent and training so that the objects with which we are surrounded in our daily lives may have an appearance which is not only attractive but is based on genuinely artistic principles'. The exhibition was held under Royal Patronage and with the active participation of HRH the Prince of Wales as President of the General Committee\n\nRecords comprise photographs and copy photographs of items displayed at the Exhibition

The Focus on Food Campaign was an RSA flagship education initiative. This campaign builds on two projects completed in 1997: the RSA's Cooking Counts and the QCA's Food in Schools. The project was run by Design Dimensions, a charity, at the RSA at Dean Clough. \n\nThe Campaign aimed to raise the profile and importance of practical food education and help secure, sustain and strengthen the position and status of food in the National Curriculum. The work focused on the making of food as the key experience in learning about the social importance of food.\nSee: http://www.waitrose.com/focusonfood/\n\nThe RSA's involvement ended in February 2003 but the project will continue under the administration of Design Dimensions.\nRecords include publicity and printed material including teaching packs and photographs of events.
