Royal Academy Summer Exhibition

The Royal Academy on London’s Piccadilly has held a Summer Exhibition since 1769 making this the 250th event. It is an open submission exhibition which means that anyone, professional artist or amateur, may enter work for consideration. In the end 1,347 pieces were eventually selected, by a committee led by artist Grayson Perry, from over 14,000 submitted.

The exhibition lasts until 19th August 2018 and most of the pieces are available for purchase.

I have always like the architectural models and this year they were exceptionally good.

The exhibition is always interesting and is great way to spend  a few hours. It is always advisable to buy tickets in advance, you can do so here
