Rome Friends Membership (250)

The Rome Friends offer local supporters the opportunity to connect with one of the city’s most vibrant cultural institutions. By joining, you directly strengthen the BSR’s artistic and academic mission, while becoming part of the dynamic community that fosters cultural exchange between Rome and the wider Commonwealth.
As a Rome Friend, you’ll step into a rich cultural milieu; one where artists, scholars, and thinkers come together to exchange ideas, create new work, and explore the questions shaping contemporary culture. Friends enjoy access to a programme of high‑calibre, thought‑provoking events that reflect the BSR’s role as a hub of artistic excellence and interdisciplinary dialogue.
This membership is designed for those who want to support the BSR, while participating in the intellectual and creative life that makes the institution so distinctive.
