Mall Galleries - Royal Society of British Artists

To have work shown with the RBA, in one of the best “open call” exhibitions, at one of the most prestigious galleries in the UK, should be on every artist’s ‘wish list’. Don’t just wish it ... Do it!

Here are some of the reasons to enter the RBA Annual Exhibition 2024:

•  £10,000 grand prize
• Plus another c. £10,000 of prizes and awards (see 'Prizes & Awards' below)
• Non-members are eligible for all prizes with the exception of the Whistler Award (£3,000)
• 200 non-member works will be selected to show with us and will appear in our catalogue
• We select quality, whether paintings, sculptures, printmaking or drawing

The RBA was formed in 1823 and we have 200 years’ experience of selecting and promoting the best artistic talent. You can trust our Selection Panel to choose quality, no matter the style or medium of the work. Art is many faceted and exciting so, if selected, you will be included in an eclectic show which always has a wonderful buzz and will make you proud to be part of it.

Be positive ... have confidence in your ability and go for it! Last year we had record sales, because the RBA has been at the heart of contemporary art for over two centuries and we are still at it.
