Summer Exhibition 2023
13 June - 20 August 2023
Main Galleries | Burlington House
Art overflowing into the streets of Piccadilly, drinks with friends in the Main Galleries, finding the perfect painting and even taking it home - it’s the Summer Exhibition.
Run without interruption since 1769, the Summer Exhibition is our annual celebration of art and artists.
This year, renowned British painter David Remfry RA takes the reins as exhibition co-ordinator. Remfry’s Summer Exhibition explores the theme Only Connect, taken from the famous quote in Howards End by E.M. Forster.
Among the 1,614 featured works you will find towering sculptures by the late Phyllida Barlow RA, Richard Malone’s dramatic mobile installation in the Wohl Central Hall, and a witty painting by comedian Joe Lycett. Plus pieces by Tracey Emin RA, Hew Locke RA, Barbara Walker RA, Gavin Turk, Lindsey Mendick, Caroline Walker and much, much more.
Most of the works are available to buy, and sales from the Summer Exhibition support the exhibiting artists and the RA's charitable work, including training the next generation of artists in the Royal Academy Schools.
Mental note…. if I ever apply, remember to enter my worst work… (maybe something from my art GCSE - over 30 years ago).
Really interesting analysis and commentary thank you. I went to the 2022 Summer Exhibition and was amazed at just how many red dots there were on the prints featured. And I came to a similar conclusion that small, framed prints are the way to go for both the artist and the RA!
I'm actually tempted to submit a small framed print (with a big edition run) as an experiment!
Cool. If u do let me know how it goes!!!!
thank you very much as ever for this fascinating tour and commentary...first class and riveting to watch and listen to...art top10 always brilliant...!
Thank you so much! I really appreciate the comments!
You come out of your daydream state as you enter the world of art, but it takes a while to engage your mind with it (like when you watch Shakespeare or listen to great music). Art is uplifting and inspirational so the enthusiasm for the artwork increases as you move from room to room; it's magical and casts a spell on you. Maybe when it gets close to the end of the exhibition people buy because they want to be a part of that and take some of what they have experienced homw with them.
In a second hand book shop today, I looked through some RA summer show catalogues from the early 50’s. Really good artwork and no ‘mad’ modern stuff. It wasn’t that sort of show.
I went to several in the 70’s and 80’s and it was still largely the same.
After quite a long gap, I last went in 2016. A freak-show.
I won’t ever go again.
😂
Loved your video. I went to the exhibition last year and thought many of the exhibits were wonderful but also many were ... not. How hard can it be? I thought. So I entered this year and very luckily had similar thoughts on what might be accepted in that my submitted work is a small print in a simple frame. And it has been shortlisted. I'm guessing that's where the story will end as I am not part of the art world.
That’s very cool. V glad u got shortlisted. When the next round? R u into the actual show? Let me know I could film your entry when I review the show.
@@ArtTop10 Thank you for your kind comments. I just heard this morning that my entry has been selected so yes, I will be in the actual show! Never been in anything like this before. I will let you know where it is displayed when I get more details. In slight shock atm.
A great effort on your part! Just got back today with artist Emily King (see her comment below). It was my second visit in a fortnight. On the first visit I only had an hour; today we were there for over two hours but I reckon you need at least three hours to really do it justice. It looked like sales pick up exponentially by the last three rooms, so viewers must decide by then that they want to buy at least a print. I was surprised at how many works are not for sale though. I came away both times feeling uplifted and inspired by the variety of work on display, There are always a few works that positively jump out at you as favourites, .I would say that this exhibition offers great encouragement to anyone who might never have attempted to create a work of art to have a go at one themselves. When you leave the building everything you see looks like a live painting!
Interesting how you spotted the sales increase towards the end!

Great coverage, thanks.
Thank you!!!
Just got back from the exhibition today. Loved watching your vid afterwards, thank you. Q. for you: If you submit a print with 100 editions (one framed), will you have to have all 100 editions printed at the time you apply (before you know you're even accepted)? So eye opening about contingent of non-RA or non heard of in the art world.
I don’t think you’d have to have them all printed. I guess you could fulfil the orders as they come in.
FYI you don't have to buy the booklet with info if you have a ticket..its given to you.
I didn’t realise that. So if you actually bought a tickets, as opposed to turning up with your RA card, you get the booklet for free? Is that right?
@@ArtTop10 I asked about this today and they said you have to pay extra for the booklet. (£18.50 ticket without booklet) You can view without, but it's interesting to know what's what and how much they're going for. You can share a booklet and cut costs that way.
Good video, I like that you mention the names of the artists and the price of the artworks, well done....
Thank you very much!
👍✌️🙏 Thanks for creating and sharing 💎
My pleasure
I always thought the Summer Exhibition was for new artists but seems like it’s to draw the public in to see the RA members paintings😮
Interesting the RAs showing their pieces is a big part of it as far as I can see.
I think that’s always been a big part of it.
Thanks for the video. Wish I had seen it before I bought two entries though - seems like some of the nonsense on the walls I should have just bought 40 Lotto tickets 🤣. At least if I'd bought lottery tickets I wouldn't be left with the depressing, empty feeling you get when work you poured your heart and soul into is rejected and some splodge on a canvas is exhibited 🤣😂
It’s a nightmare isn’t it! Don’t be disheartened art is a weird one and the RA Summer show in particular! I’m going to enter again but i will aim for smaller pieces that can possibly be sold as editions.
It's stipulated in the entry now that the work must be in a simple frame, have failed to get something in for the last few years now😂
I entered this year. I didn’t see that. It’s doesn’t mean it has to be framed does it? Just that the frame should not be weird.
it a good idea to narrate your videos.
Thank you. It’s good to know you like the narration.
Enjoyed the show, so if you paint you have almost no chance of getting in. Made the show more interesting when you come up with these facts. Are you banned from next year’s show ?
😂They have banned me…yet!!!
If you're black and preferably a non straight you've got a pretty good chance of getting into this junk show.
