The 209th Exhibition of the Royal Institute will be held at the Mall Galleries

The 209th Exhibition of the Royal Institute will be held at the Mall Galleries, The Mall, London SW1, from 20-29 May, open 11am to 4pm daily and booking is required.

The RI was formed to exhibit the best watercolours and to show non-members’ works alongside the individual collections by Members, a policy that is upheld today. Works by Candidates seeking membership will be prominently displayed and this year we had a record number of 1735 submissions by non-members, an increase of 58%. From these submissions we have selected 211 paintings by non-members to hang alongside collections by RI members.
