A new annual summer exhibition in London is being launched by the Royal Society of Arts (RSA) and AOAP Projects, the organisation formerly known as Art on a Postcard. Participating artists will receive 50% of proceeds from sales, with the rest contributing to the RSA’s ongoing programme of social impact work.
Illuminated will run from 10-24 June at the RSA’s headquarters on John Adam Street in central London, with all works produced at a scale no larger than seven inches by seven inches. The inaugural edition features more than 100 artists, including the British painter Caroline Coon, whose work has been exhibited at Tate Britain and the Hayward Gallery; Susie Hamilton, known for her psychologically charged depictions of contemporary life and whose work is held in the Science Museum and the Deutsche Bank Collection; and Helen Beard, whose colour-saturated paintings have featured at Damien Hirst’s Newport Street Gallery, among others.
