Summer Exhibition 2016
Friends of the RA are invited to an evening Private View of the 248th annual Summer Exhibition Preview, before it opens to the public. Held without interruption since 1769, the Summer Exhibition displays works in a variety of mediums and genres by emerging and established contemporary artists.
Everything you’ll see at the Summer Exhibition 2016 represents what is happening in the art world right now. New and recent art created by everyone from emerging artists to the biggest names in contemporary art and architecture. Now in its 248th year, the Summer Exhibition continues in the tradition of showcasing a variety of work in all media, including painting, sculpture, photography, printmaking, architecture and film. This must-see exhibition is a unique window onto all areas of the contemporary art world.
As a Friend of the RA you are invited to see all RA exhibitions before they open to the public with a guest for free. Make sure you are among the first to see this undoubtedly popular exhibition.
Continue your evening with live music and delicious cocktails, including specials available from our cocktail making experts Peyton & Byrne. For a taste of what to expect, have a look at images from the latest Friends Private View.
As our Friends Preview and Private View events are extremely popular, we ask that you book a ticket to enable a pleasurable experience when viewing the exhibition. As a Friend you are welcome to enjoy the exhibition for free, but in reserving a viewing time at the exhibition Preview, you will be ensured entry for you and a guest. Should you arrive without a booking, we will do our best to accommodate you but may need to delay access during busy times.
Thank you for your continued support.
