Waite is delighted to have been invited to exhibit at The Royal Academy's summer exhibition this year.   

Almost 200,000 people visit the show each year. It is a prominent feature in the art world calendar and offers artists the opportunity to have their work viewed by an international audience. 

This year, the exhibition is co-ordinated by Michael Craig-Martin RA – a leading artist of his generation and the teacher who nurtured the talents of Gary Hume, Sarah Lucas and Damien Hirst. His distinctive creative vision has resulted in room after room bursting with variety, colour and remarkable new work by leading and emerging contemporary artists – all handpicked from over 12,000 entries.  

The Summer Exhibition is the world’s oldest open-submission exhibition: its earliest exhibitors included the likes of Reynolds, Constable and Turner. With many works in the exhibition on sale, the show also gives you a chance to own some original art while supporting the historic Royal Academy schools; artwork sales help us to continue the free tuition that we have offered for nearly 250 years.
