Having rung in the summer months for more than 250 years, the Royal Academy of Art’s Summer Exhibition in London is the world’s oldest open-entry show; anyone can submit their work for potential display in the Academy’s main galleries and courtyard. This year the exhibition features more than 1,200 works by amateurs, professional artists and Academicians (18 June–18 August). Covering all manner of mediums, from painting to photography, sculpture to film, most of the works will be available for purchase, with proceeds supporting the artists and the Royal Academy’s charitable endeavours.
Find out more from the Royal Academy’s website.
