Photo Open Exhibition at RWA

About

The RWA Photo Open celebrates contemporary photographic practice in all its forms.

This Open Call exhibition invited submissions from artists and photographers, at any stage of their careers, who create photographic work or explore the nature of photography in their work. Often side-lined as a significant artform, the Photo Open aims to showcase the sheer quality and range of photographic work being produced by photographers and artists across the UK and abroad now.

The selection panel included internationally acclaimed artist-photographers Jem Southam, Amak Mahmoodian, Sian Bonnell, Susan Derges RWA and Judith Jones RWA, along with Tracy Marshall (Director of Development -The Royal Photographic Society). The invited artists are Robert Darch and Helen Sear. 

All exhibits in the Photo Open will be for sale and once the show opens can be purchased from the RWA shop online and at the RWA. 

The Photo Open is part of a wider season of Photography at the RWA. Alongside the Photo Open and the work of Jem Southam, are free-to-view exhibitions including work by Anne-Katrin Purkiss in the Kenny Gallery and Underexposed on the lower ground floor, and there is also an interactive PhotoLab in the family learning space.  

Ticket price includes entry to all exhibitions. No need to book in advance – tickets will be available on the day.
