The Summer Exhibition

The Summer Exhibition is an annual art show held at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. It’s one of the world’s oldest and most popular open-submission exhibitions, showcasing contemporary artwork from emerging and established artists across various mediums, including painting, sculpture, printmaking, and digital art. Artists submit their work for a chance to be selected by a panel of experts, and the exhibition offers the public an accessible opportunity to experience a diverse range of creative voices. It also serves as a fundraiser for the Academy’s educational and public programs, fostering engagement with the arts.
