The UK’s best-loved art show will return in 2025.
Held every year without interruption since 1769, the Summer Exhibition showcases a diverse array of contemporary works, including prints, paintings, films, photography, sculpture, and architectural works. It features a mix of art by household names and emerging talent.
Many works will be available to buy and sales will directly support the exhibiting artists and the RA’s charitable work, including training the next generation of artists at the Royal Academy Schools.
House Members have dedicated preview hours on Saturday 14 June 10am–12pm. Preview days for House Members, Friends and Bar & Garden take place Saturday 14 June 12pm–9pm, Sunday 15 June 10am–8pm and Monday 16 June 10am–6pm.
