Academician Candidates' Exhibition 2025
6 Sep - 26 Oct 2025
The RWA is committed to supporting artists throughout their careers. As an Academy of Art, Academicians, play a central role to achieving this vision.
Each year, a shortlist of Academician Candidates are invited to exhibit a selection of their recent works, and current Academicians use a democratic vote to welcome new members.
The exhibition is in the Kenny Gallery on the First Floor. Admission is free.
This year's Candidates are:
-
Sally Baldwin – textile, collage, sculpture
Lucinda Burgess – sculptural drawings
Helen Cass – ink on paper drawings
Jane Hedges – acrylic paintings
Bina Shah – mixed media and print
Nicola Turner – mixed media, sculpture
Joy Wolfenden-Brown - oil paintings
