    The Royal Academy's Annual Summer Exhibition started inward 1768. It has been held every twelvemonth since.  In 2012 the 244th Summer Exhibition volition live on display betwixt quaternary June in addition to twelfth August.
    One of the founding principles of the Royal Academy of Arts was to 'mount an annual exhibition open to all artists of distinguished merit' to finance the grooming of immature artists inward the RA Schools.

The Royal Academy receives no public funding in addition to then all those who back upward the Summer Exhibition yesteryear submitting work, visiting it and through purchases contribute to supporting artists of the future.  
    Besides the tradition of creating funds for the RA Schools, The Summer Exhibition has ii primary functions:

    Due to the numbers submitted for exhibition, the RA recognises that all artworks are probable to sense considerable treatment in addition to decline to bring whatever liability for whatever harm or loss during the submission or exhibition process.  It's the artist's responsibleness to insure the artwork.

    Sale Prices in addition to Commission

    My personal persuasion is that depression priced master copy piece of work has lilliputian conduct a chance of acceptance.  A depression cost indicates that the creative individual does non attribute much value to the piece of work - in addition to the RA volition larn a depression marker of commission if it sells.

    On the other paw reasonably priced fine fine art prints stimulate got a habit of selling similar hotcakes!

    The cost is the figure notified on the shape in addition to cannot live changed during the course of didactics of the exhibition. If yous tin larn to the Summer Exhibition it's ever a expert thought to cheque inward advance of submission the cost arrive at of artwork similar to your ain yesteryear artists of comparable standing.
