SUMMARY:REJECTS - Artworks by the Royal Academy
DESCRIPTION:REJECTS: A Celebration of Overlooked Artworks by the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. \nNow in its fourth year and previously featured in The BBC\, The Guardian\, and The Art Newspaper\, REJECTS is back this June with a brand-new line-up of artists and artworks that didn’t make it into the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition. Each year around 18\,000 artists apply to the RA\, but only about 1\,500 make the cut\, leaving a whole lot of talent that might otherwise go unseen. \nHoused in a quaint 19th-century bakery on Notting Hill’s iconic Portobello Road\, this year’s exhibition provides a defiant spotlight for these brilliant\, overlooked works. Spanning painting\, sculpture\, photography\, textiles\, and mixed media\, the show features a fresh mix of emerging and established artists reclaiming their space on the summer art calendar. Expect a range of bold statements and thoughtful storytelling\, from bright\, joyful paintings and embroidered buildings to hauntingly beautiful figures. \nWhether you’re an art collector or just art-curious\, Art Friend welcomes everyone to the gallery. So you can decide for yourselves: did the judges make the right decision? Come be the critic and see which artworks make your cut. And if you really love a REJECT\, you can buy it and take it home with you\, as all the artwork on display is for sale. \nOpening Night Drinks: Thursday 18 June & Friday 19 June\, 5–9 pm Join us for drinks\, music\, and a first look at this year’s REJECTS. \nWhy REJECTS matters: REJECTS isn’t just an exhibition\, it’s a movement. It highlights how much talent is out there and how many people face rejection on a daily basis\,we have all been rejects once! So come join the club\, root for the underdog and enjoy seeing what talent has been given a second chance.
