The Royal Society of Portrait Painters invites artists from all over the world to submit portraits for its Annual Exhibition, which will bring together over 200 portraits at The Mall Galleries.
Attracting many art lovers in central London, the show at The Mall Galleries is a unique professional opportunity for portrait artists, as it sees a great number of works being sold to collectors, and just as many commissions being placed with exhibiting artists.
The exhibition is selected by a committee of elected members of the society - all leading and currently practising portrait painters - which makes being shortlisted a mark of distinction in itself. Selected artists also have a chance to win cash prizes totalling over £23,000, including the Ondaatje Prize for Portraiture of £10,000, and the RP Award of £2,000, which goes to the artist whose work best represents this year’s theme: childhood.
Does your work include portraits? Then, you are welcome to take part! Artists from around the world can submit paintings, drawings and original prints before 15 January 2021, 12pm noon.
