Federation of British Artists

The societies represent living artists working in the United Kingdom who create contemporary figurative art.

Mall Galleries aim to 'promote, inspire and educate audiences about the visual arts.'

The FBA has over 500 artist-members, who regularly exhibit their work and also accept open submissions from the public.

In February 2011 the Mall Galleries mounted an exhibition, "Pure Gold: 50 Years of the Federation of British Artists", curated by Anthony J Lester, Hon.RMS, FRBA, FRSA.

Mall Galleries received public attention when they removed oil painting Portrait of Ms Ruby May, Standing.
