This year’s exhibition

Following long Academy tradition, the Summer Exhibition is selected and hung by an annually rotating committee of Royal Academicians, all of whom are practising artists and architects. Tess Jaray is this year’s Exhibition Co-ordinator: ‘In contrast to some of the very large works that are currently exhibited in museums worldwide, this year we shall be focusing upon, and celebrating, works of a more modest size.’ Working closely with the rest of the Committee, she will seek to select a diverse range of strong work to exhibit.
