Summer Exhibition
The exhibition will open on 4 June and run until 12 August 2012
Following long Academy tradition, the Summer Exhibition is selected and hung by an annually rotating committee of Royal Academicians, all of whom are practising artists and architects. Tess Jaray is this year’s Exhibition Co-ordinator: ‘In contrast to some of the very large works that are currently exhibited in museums worldwide, this year we shall be focusing upon, and celebrating, works of a more modest size.’ Working closely with the rest of the Committee, she will seek to select a diverse range of strong work to exhibit.
How to enter the Summer Exhibition 2012
An artist may submit a maximum of two works, for a handling charge of £25.00 per entry (which is non-refundable and includes VAT).
Entry Forms can be purchased online until Friday 9 March 2012 (for artists outside the UK, please refer to the FAQs).
All completed Entry Forms, along with photographs of sculpture*, must be returned to the Summer Exhibition Office by Tuesday 13 March.
In order to avoid disappointment, it is recommended that artists purchase their forms in good time.
