Successful applicants can expect:
• To have their selected work included in the RBA Annual Exhibition at Mall Galleries, in the gallery, and online
• Eligibility to win prizes and awards, worth over £15,000
• An invitation to the Private View
• The chance to sell their work
• To be part of a network of exhibiting artists dating back to 1823 when the Society was founded
‘With such a wealth of talent and support, the future looks exceptionally bright for the Royal Society of British Artists. Join us in celebrating the power of art and creativity!’ - Michael Harrison, RBA President
