RWA 173 Annual Open Exhibition

The Royal West of England Academy invites artists to submit work for the 173rd Annual Open in Bristol. Selection is overseen by a panel of guest experts alongside RWA Academicians, and the show has built a reputation as one of the most prestigious open exhibitions outside London. Last year over 10,000 visitors attended and the show generated more than £150,000 in sales of original works and prints.

Prizes include the Cass Art Award, the Pangolin Sculpture Prize, the PJ Crook Prize for Narrative Figurative Painting and the Drawing Prize. Open to painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture and mixed media installation.
