THE SUMMER EXHIBITION 2019

I am so delighted that my Elephant print is now hanging in the Summer Exhibition 2019 at the Royal Academy of Arts in Piccadilly.

For those of you who don’t know much about the process of applying to the Summer Exhibition, it is a long one. The submission deadline was back on the 13th February. In the past the submissions were capped at 12000, however this has been lifted, so I am not sure how many final submissions there were this year. The original submission is digital and if you are lucky and make it through the first selection process on the 14th March, you get to travel to the Royal Academy and hand in your selected print or prints on the 1st May. Then you hold your breath and wait to hear if you make the wall on the 20th May. Screams of delight if you do!

This year my prints has been selected by Jock McFadyen RA, the overall coordinator for the Summer Exhibition. You will find my elephant amongst the menagerie of the blue Central Hall, the first room of the exhibition.

To quote the Observer:

“The Academy won’t have seen a menagerie like it, but it’s all life and it’s all art.”

The exhibition opens to the public on the 10th June and runs until the 12th August. For further details see the Royal Academy of Arts website.
