Royal Academy of Arts: Private View of Summer/Winter Exhibition

The Royal Academy invites Frieze VIPs for access to the Summer/Winter Exhibition with exclusive access on Tuesday 6th October within our early access hours from 9am-10am.



252 years ago, a group of artists made it their mission to form an annual exhibition to support artists and architects, by showcasing art of the moment to the nation. The Summer Exhibition has run uninterrupted ever since: a backdrop to famous artistic rivalries of the past and now a fixture of the summer calendar for art seekers, year after year.



Coordinated by artistic duo Jane and Louise Wilson RA, this autumn is set to be just as uplifting – you are sure to see art you love, art you hate, and art that puts a smile on your face. You might even find art to take home.



This year’s exhibition includes new works by Tracey Emin, Rebecca Horn, Anselm Kiefer, Julian Schnabel, Gillian Wearing and Ai Weiwei.

Please note that this event has now passed.

Booking Required - please book a time slot HERE.



Due to current circumstances, heightened precautions are in place to protect guests, limiting numbers at each event. It is more important than ever that guests who sign up for an in-person event, but are no longer able to attend, cancel their ticket in advance, allowing others a chance to participate. Please only sign up to events you intend to attend.
