This is an annual exhibition to look forward to as it features the works of the artist graduating from the UK’s longest established art school. It is the one hundred and fortieth anniversary of the student’s having public exhibition of their work. This year’s show consists of works, in a wide variety of media, by the seventeen graduates.

This show runs alongside the Summer Exhibition (on which more from me later) which as Michael Craig-Martin RA explains is appropriate as ‘It is not always fully appreciated that the funds raised by the Summer Exhibition contribute towards the funding of the RA Schools which are the only graduate art school in England which does not charge tuition fees.’
