Event Details

THIS EVEN HAS BEEN CHANGED AND IS NOW RUNNING IN PLACE OF THE EVENT WHICH WAS SCHEDULED FOR SUNDAY 11 JANUARY.

Have you ever thought of applying to become part of the RBSA Membership? As an RBSA Friend, you have already begun your journey with the Society, let us guide you through the next steps.

Every year, artists who would like to join the Society as an Associate can apply for the RBSA Candidates Exhibition. Open to artists who have a strong history of exhibiting in Society shows (excluding the RBSA Friends Exhibition), this exhibition gives the existing Membership the opportunity to view the work of prospective Associates and vote for those they would like to see join the RBSA.

The application process for the Candidates Exhibition is a little more complicated than normal RBSA calls for entries, therefore President Ed Isaacs will be in the Gallery on the afternoon of Saturday 17 January if you would like to drop in and find out more about the application process and submitting work.

To find out more before this, visit the Candidates Exhibition call for entries page. If you have any questions then don’t hesitate to get in touch.
