Royal Society of British Artists | Annual Exhibition 2026
Welcome to the RBA Annual Exhibition 2026, an exciting and expansive survey of contemporary art practice. Founded in 1823 and granted the 'Royal' prefix in 1887, the RBA has remained one of the world’s premier art societies for more than 200 years.
The Society’s members, among the leading artists in the UK and beyond, present recent works alongside non-members, selected from thousands of entries. The annual exhibition promises to deliver audiences a show eclectic in medium and subject but consistent in ambition and quality.
To be awarded on the occasion of the annual exhibition is a variety of significant prizes, including The Huaicun Zhang Award of £10,000 for a work (or works) of exceptional quality.
A series of special events will accompany the exhibition, including a talk with Ken Nwadiogbu, the most recent recipient of the RBA Rome Scholarship.
