First nosotros demand to expect at lastly twelvemonth in addition to what changed - earlier nosotros move on to wonder whether the changes volition live abandoned in addition to the exhibition volition revert to "type".
The nature of the competition
Last year:
This was my review of lastly year's exhibition - Review: 244th Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy which focuses on the extent to which the exhibition changed lastly year.
This year's exhibition
It's unclear whether the exhibition this summertime volition move along to guide to a greater extent than novel piece of work from artists who have got non exhibited at the RA earlier inwards the same vein every bit 2012 - or render to its to a greater extent than traditional approach. The commons aim is to include at to the lowest degree 100 artists who have got never exhibited at the RA earlier - from which yous tin tell that a lot of those who larn chosen from the opened upwards entry have got exhibited inwards the Summer Exhibition inwards previous years.
There are some hints. The organisers have got announced that the themes for the hang of this year's exhibition are every bit follows:
However other than indicating that printmaking plant of a moderate size are likely to a greater extent than probable to live accepted, I'm non certain how these themes help the artists submitting work.
It's worth noting who's who this year. The 2012 Exhibition is curated each twelvemonth yesteryear the Selection in addition to Hanging Committee.
Why movement into the Summer Exhibition
It adds provenance to your artwork! Galleries are oft impressed yesteryear artists who have got had piece of work selected inwards prestigious opened upwards competitions. It looks keen on your CV in addition to it makes it easier for galleries to sell your piece of work to collectors who are impressed yesteryear such achievements.
The demo every bit good provides an first-class chance to sell your fine art work.

All artists are strongly encouraged to movement into piece of work that is available for sale. (That's called a hint!)
I would add together that those who sell absolutely oodles of piece of work are the printmakers. I suspect i of the reasons they larn a rattling skillful gallery to demo piece of work inwards is because they likely generate rather a lot of funds judging yesteryear the number of scarlet spots which accumulate on artwork during the course of pedagogy of the show. I in i trial went close the goal of the summertime demo and, out of curiosity started to tot upwards the value of the prints sold versus the values of paintings of similar size. The printmakers were way out inwards forepart on value of piece of work sold. That's the kind of matter an fine art lodge cares close inwards a recession!
The chances of beingness selected
Let's say 1,000 entries from non-Academicians came from the 11,000+ entries received via the opened upwards contest inwards 2012 - when many to a greater extent than artists had piece of work selected via the opened upwards entry.
That way that the chances of a non-Academician getting piece of work hung - lastly twelvemonth - was around close 9% - which is way improve than a number of other fine art competitions. However that was lastly twelvemonth - in addition to lastly twelvemonth was rattling much out of mensuration alongside other recent years.
