We are delighted to present the 198th Annual Exhibition of the Royal Scottish Academy.

The Annual Exhibition is the core of the RSA’s exhibition programme, and represents our commitment to promoting excellence in visual art in Scotland. This year’s Convenor is Wendy McMurdo RSA, assisted by Deputy Convenor Jude Barber RSA (Elect). The RSA Annual Exhibition is the largest and longest running exhibition of contemporary art in Scotland. Having been a mainstay of the academy's calendar since its inception 198 years ago, the Annual Exhibition has evolved over the years, providing a platform for Scottish art alongside international artists, often including topical or political elements, to give an uncensored, independent voice to artists. Nearly all works in the exhibition are available to purchase. Income raised in the Annual Exhibition directly assists artists and the not-for-profit work of the RSA. The exhibition encompasses both the physical and digital, combining the exhibition of artworks on display in the galleries with those shown online, some exclusively designed as such and others as companions or in tandem to work in the galleries.
