About the show

The Young Artists’ Summer show, now in its seventh year, is a free, open-submission exhibition for young artists aged 4-18. The show celebrates the creativity of young people living and studying in the UK, providing them with a platform to showcase their unique voices, as well as the commitment of teachers, parents and guardians championing the role of art in education across the UK.

Artworks are judged by a panel of artists and arts professionals, with selected artworks displayed online and on-site at the Royal Academy of Arts.


Royal Academy

Located in the heart of London, the RA is a place where art is made, exhibited and debated. We offer a range of free activities, resources and workshops to support teachers, students and young people to engage with art and artists, both at the RA and back in the classroom.
