ROYAL BRITISH COLONIAL SOCIETY OF ARTISTS
In 1887 artists William Ayerst Ingram (1855-1913) and Thomas Cooper Gotch (1854-1931) became founder members of the Royal Anglo Australian Society of Artists with many artists from the then-British colonies of South Africa, Canada, India, New Zealand, and Australia exhibiting and in 1907 the Society was granted a Royal Charter when it was renamed the Royal British Colonial Society of Artists. Gotch became its second president in 1912 a position he held until 1928 and Percy Robert Craft (1856-1934) was particularly active in the organisation of exhibitions for the Society, of which many of the Newlyn artists were members. British exhibitors included Robert George Talbot Kelly, Alfred Munnings, Frank Short, Malcolm Osborne, Frank William Brangwyn (1867-1956), Freda Marston (1895-1949), Herbert Davis Richter, Alfred William Strutt (1856-1924) and Albert Chevalier Tayler (1862-1925) who also acted as Honorary Secretary. The last exhibition appears to have been staged in 1937 at the galleries of the Royal Society of British Artists in Suffolk Street, Piccadilly, London. Other Suffolk artists who exhibited with the Royal British Colonial Society of Artists include George Charles Haité and William Hoggatt
