Exhibition
The Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts returns for another season of creativity, colour, and discovery.
Monday: closed Tuesday–Sunday: 10am–6pm Friday: 10am–9pm
Tel: 0207 300 8090
You’ll find everything from paintings and prints to sculpture, photography, architecture, and film all under one roof.
Most pieces are for sale, with prices starting under £250, making it a great opportunity to begin your own collection or simply pick up something you love. Every purchase also supports the artists and The Royal Academy, an independent charity.
This year’s exhibition features a playful courtyard installation by Ryan Gander, where five giant inflatable spheres set the tone for a bold and imaginative show. Inside, highlights include powerful new works by Tracey Emin and striking sculptures suspended from the ceiling.
Some pieces explore social and political themes. If you’d like more information before your visit, the RA team is happy to help.
Please note that the views expressed in the artworks are those of the artists and not necessarily those of the Royal Academy.
