Royal Academy Summer Exhibition
I promised yesterday to write about my trip with Mr. Bsag to the Royal Academy of Arts in London. We’ve been to the Summer Exhibition together most years since we met, so it has become a bit of a ritual. However, I think that this will be the last year we go.
The Summer Exhibition has been running since 1796, and is unusual because absolutely anyone is allowed to submit works for consideration. Members of the Royal Academy of Arts are allowed to submit 6 works, while everyone else is limited to 3. A selection committee decides which works get exhibited, but there’s usually a great mixture of styles, with paintings, prints and sculptures all representedâthis is what usually makes it an exciting visit.
