Summer Exhibition 2017
RA Patrons are invited to spend a family-friendly morning in the Summer Exhibition before the galleries open to the public.
Now in its 249th year, the annual Summer Exhibition is a celebration of new and recent art, created by everyone from emerging artists to the biggest names in contemporary art and architecture.
The morning will include short educational tours of the exhibition, an art workshop in the galleries and a light breakfast. The recommended age is 5-11, but of course all ages are welcome.
As part of their annual benefits, Patrons can choose a morning family view in exchange for an opening reception.
Friends summer party
Join us in our Main Galleries as we celebrate the Summer Exhibition, the world’s largest open-submission contemporary art show. Now in its 249th year, the Summer Exhibition provides a unique platform for emerging and established artists to showcase works across painting and printmaking, photography, sculpture, architecture and film.
At this party, Friends can experience the Summer Exhibition like never before, with live music, delicious canapés and prosecco served throughout the evening. Tickets include a donation to the redevelopment of the RA.
