The Royal West of England Academy holds an annual open exhibition - the Autumn Exhibition – now in its 160th year. As the name suggests, anyone can enter their work for this mixed discipline show. A selection panel assesses every entry and last year 508 works by 338 artists made it into the final exhibition. Every work is for sale, and the exhibition attracts art-lovers and art-buyers from far and wide. Submissions of painting, drawing, printmaking, photography, sculpture and architecture from unknown, emerging and established artists, including RWA Academicians, can be made online until 19 September 2012.
