This year's event was held during an especially critical time for the RCA. The generosity of the artists who donated their work and the incredible support from bidders across Wales and beyond has been nothing short of inspiring.

Thanks to you, we’ve taken an important step toward safeguarding the future of one of Wales’s oldest artist-led institutions. Every bid not only brought original artwork into new homes, but also directly supported the RCA’s mission to champion creativity, nurture artists, and keep art thriving in Wales.

In keeping with the spirit of the Secret Postcard Auction, the identities of the artists have remained anonymous—until now.

We’re delighted to share a downloadable PDF (below) revealing the names behind the artworks, along with the corresponding auction numbers:

We extend our sincere thanks to:

• All the Royal Cambrian Academy members,

• Artists from the Art North Wales group, and

• Contributors to our 2025 Open Exhibition,

…who generously donated nearly 200 original works.

And to every single bidder—thank you. Your support helps ensure the RCA can continue to be a vital hub for artists and art lovers in Wales.
