RSA Upper and Lower Galleries
Admission £4/£2 Concession
The RSA New Contemporaries, supported by Walter Scott & Partners Limited, represents the RSA's commitment to promoting contemporary art in Scotland. Now in it's eighth year, this carefully curated exhibition offers a unique opportunity to see some of Scotland's finest emerging talent under one roof. Showcasing 61 graduates selected from the 2015 degree shows, this exhibition will feature a wonderful array of painting, sculpture, film making, photography, printmaking, architecture and installation.
The selection was made by exhibition convener Stuart MacKenzie RSA, with assistance from fellow academicians and representatives from the five main colleges of art. This year the six Scottish schools of architecture are each represented by a graduate selected by architecture convenor Dick Cannon RSA. The RSA is delighted to announce that the exhibition is once again kindly supported by Walter Scott & Partners Limited and, for the eighth consecutive year, The Skinny is our Media Partner.
The RSA New Contemporaries exhibition will be accompanied by a full colour publication. Many works will be available for purchase. The RSA is part of the Own Art scheme, offering interest-free credit for people to buy contemporary art and craft. For further details visit www.ownart.org.uk
