The Royal Society of Marine Artists announces exhibition

The Royal Society of Marine Artists (RSMA,) the foremost society of artists dedicated to depicting tidal waters and the marine environment, has announced the dates of its hotly anticipated Annual Exhibition at Mall Galleries in London, running from September 19-28.

John Scott Martin, the President of the Royal Society of Marine Artists said: “The tradition of marine painting includes many of the greatest names in British art. Of the artists represented at this year’s exhibition, some may in the future be listed historically as nationally and globally important.”

The Annual Exhibition will show figurative paintings, hand-crafted prints, sculpture, ceramics and textiles from both RSMA members and carefully selected work from an Open Submission. Marine artists worldwide are invited to submit work which will be curated according to the society’s foremost measure of excellence in representing tidal waters and subject matter connected to the sea and the marine environment. The majority of the work to be shown at the exhibition will be available for sale with many pieces expected to sell in advance through the Online Preview, as it has in previous years.  Several prizes and awards are on offer to exhibiting artists.
