The RWA's renowned Annual Open Exhibition returns for its 168th year with a stunning variety of work from emerging and established artists. This year 1833 artists submitted 3566 works of art. This is a record number.

This year's Annual Open will include work by our invited artists Rebecca Salter PRA and Frank Bowling OBE RA as well as the RWA Academicians. 

This dynamic and varied exhibition invites painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture, installation and mixed media submissions and is a showcase of some of the most exciting artists from across the country and beyond. 

All work is for sale, making the Annual Open a perfect opportunity to discover new artists or invest in well-known names.
