Now in its 186th year, the RSA Annual Exhibition is one of the longest running and most prestigious exhibitions of contemporary art in Scotland.
Presenting the country’s leading contemporary artists and architects, the exhibition features a wide variety of painting, sculpture, film-making, photography, installation and architecture across all thirteen magnificent upper and lower galleries in the RSA building.
This year’s joint-convenors are Doug Cocker RSA and James Castle RSA with Ric Russell RSA (Elect) as deputy convener looking after the architecture submissions.
Entitled ‘The Artist’s Studio’, the exhibition features artists selected by the convenors from the RSA membership, the broader Scottish arts community and beyond. Invited artists will present a significant body of work to the exhibition, utilising key areas in the gallery space. Works by recent RSA award-winners will also be on display as well as further curated works from the RSA Collections.
Invited artists include Gwen Hardie (showing in Edinburgh for the first time in over a decade), sculptor Steve Dilworth, environmental artist Patricia Leighton (of triangular M8 hills fame), Aenas Wilder and many others.
The exhibition will be accompanied by a full colour publication and most works will be available for purchase. The RSA participates in the Own Art scheme, offering interest-free credit to buy contemporary art.
