From stinky cheese skies to secret sausage rolls, sunny chip weddings to snail self-care, the artists featured in the eighth year of the Young Artists’ Summer Show have amazed us once again.
Artists are at the heart of everything we do at the Royal Academy of Arts – we’ve been championing them since 1768 and firmly believe in nurturing young talent and celebrating the next generation of artists.
Now in its eighth year, the Young Artists’ Summer Show is a free, open-submission exhibition for students aged 4–18 studying in the UK. Artworks are judged by a panel of passionate artists and arts professionals, with selected artworks displayed online and on-site at the Royal Academy of Arts.
More than 25,000 students participated this year thanks to the commitment of teachers, parents and guardians who are championing the role of art in education. Our judges were overwhelmed by the insight, imagination and inspiration in the artworks they saw as they selected the artworks exhibited.
Louise Wilson, Jane and Louise Wilson RA, has awarded a variety of prizes to this year’s artists and you can vote for your favourite artworks in our annual People’s Choice Award.
Made by students aged 4–18 across the UK, this exhibition is a showcase and celebration of the skill and creativity of young artists.
