REJECTS

Eligibility:

Due to popular demand, Art Friend are pleased to announce that ‘Rejects’ is returning to London for summer 2024. The premise is to showcase and celebrate some incredible artworks that have been overlooked by the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition and to give the artists their chance to shine! 

We are looking for artists who have previously submitted work to the RA Summer Exhibition and didn't get selected but who still have their work available. 

The deadline to apply is 1st June 2024 (to include people who are rejected from the second round of the RA decisions) however we would encourage you to apply as soon as possible as space is limited and we will start curating shortly. Please keep an eye on our Instagram @everyonesartfriend too as we will share updates and work in progress throughout. We cannot wait to see your artwork. The RA’s loss is our gain - Rejects unite!

Event date: 
July 4, 2024 to July 14, 2024
Location: 
London
Deadline: 
01/June/2024
