The RBSA Summer Show is the Society’s biggest open call of the year, inviting artists working in all techniques and media, including photography and digital, to submit work. This exhibition provides an excellent opportunity for artists to showcase their work in Birmingham’s foremost contemporary art gallery with an art society with over 200 year’s history of supporting artists and promoting the visual arts.

Selection for the exhibition is by an experienced panel of RBSA Members and Associates and will be made based on the a digital image of the original artwork only. All works entered go through the same anonymous selection process. The selection is based on the assessment of the quality and interest of each work.

All artists can enter up to three pieces of work. RBSA Members and Associates are invited to enter up to three works and are guaranteed that at least one work will be selected for the exhibition. Graduate Artists may enter one work which will be automatically selected for the exhibition.

We welcome entries from professional and emerging artists based locally, nationally, and internationally.
