The 301st exhibition inwards 2018 volition survive held inwards March 2018 at the Mall Galleries - across all 3 galleries due to its size.

  • It volition opened upward to earth every hateful solar daytime from 10am - 5pm 
  • The Private View volition survive on Tuesday twenty March 2018, 11am – 8pm.
The RBA is a lodge where membership is oft seen every bit a complement to membership of other national fine art societies. Indeed this was its master intention.
A grouping of painters met at Lincoln’s Inn Fields on May 21st 1823, to shape the ‘Society of British Artists’, whose manifesto stated, ‘This scheme was non formed to challenger existing societies but that every Member was to survive at freedom to attention as well as back upward whatever other society.’

Exhibition Metrics for 2017


Below yous tin observe information virtually the 2017 exhibition which is worth looking at if yous are considering entering the 2018 exhibition
  • This is a LARGE exhibition. 510 artworks were exhibited inwards 2017 inwards the opened upward exhibition across the 3 galleries (i.e. excluding the locomote past times past Presidents as well as members, NADFAS RBA Scholars as well as the National Students At Exhibition).
  • Of these 510 artworks 
    • 383 artworks (75%) past times 86 members and 
    • 127 artworks (25%) were past times 100 non-members
    • of the opened upward artists,16 were members of other national societies (most of which are based at the Mall Galleries). Which leaves 84 which direct keep no affiliation. 
You tin observe out to a greater extent than virtually the 2017 exhibition every bit follows:
For the 2018 exhibition I'd personally similar to see:
  • more scrutiny of the originality (as inwards 'Has it been exhibited before?') as well as character of locomote past times members 
  • a bigger per centum of artwork coming from the opened upward entry (i.e. nearer i 3rd would survive a adept showtime step) 
After all the opened upward entry is the time to come lifeblood of the RBA as well as the lodge needs to attract both adept artwork as well as adept artists who volition survive active supporters of the locomote of the RBA inwards future.

PLUS I think artists require reminding that having their artwork shown at the annual exhibition is the route to membership of the RBA
Before yous may apply to larn a Candidate it is essential that yous direct keep had several pieces of locomote accepted as well as shown at 3-4 of our annual exhibitions as well as then members are aware of the character of your work.RBA website - Election to Membership of The Royal Society of British Artists
