It’s the 248th year that the Royal Academy has put on its brilliant Summer Exhibition, which if you didn’t know, is the biggest open-submission exhibition on the planet. The works are selected anonymously, and this megashow of paintings, photography, prints and sculptures is a curious mixture of the rising stars, hot shots, outsiders and unknowns of the art world. It never fails to impress, and with at least 1,000 works to admire, you and your mates will probably want to make a day of it. On from June 13 to August 21.
The new Tate Modern, the Royal Academy Summer Exhibition, ‘Aladdin’ – whatever kind of culture you’re into, there's something to get you excited this summer.
