The annual exhibition of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours is the premier showcase for water-media work.
The RI 213th Exhibition, in Spring 2025, will include works by members as well as those selected from around 2,000 open submissions. "It will feature a variety of styles, as we always ensure that innovative techniques are included alongside the more traditional," says the Institute.
While sales at the exhibition perform well - with buyers eager to take home high-quality works at affordable prices - it is not the only objective. "It is important to keep the public alive to the range of contemporary water-based media. It is also important that we encourage artists to keep learning, to raise standards, to try new techniques, to share ideas and inspiration. It is this that transforms the exhibition from a show of work into an invigorating, stimulating and enlightening event."
