SUMMARY:Birmingham Easel Club - Showcase Exhibition
DESCRIPTION:The Birmingham Easel Club was originally formed in 1879 by professional artist Edmund Watson\, whose sketches for the Graphic Illustrations of Warwickshire are now stored in the Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery. Walter Langley\, who established the Newlyn Art Colony\, was also a founder member. \nThe Easel Club currently has 18 members\, whose work is created using a range of techniques\, including painting\, drawing\, collage\, printmaking\, and sculpture. \nThe group continues to meet monthly\, during which they appraise each other’s work to encourage quality\, consistency\, and artistic development within the group. \nThe artistic merit of past members of the Easel Club is an inspiration to its contemporary members\, and they aspire to uphold the high standards of the club’s illustrious and well-respected past members. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 5 April 5pm \nFeatured image: Terry Buckle PP\, Frosty Morning

SUMMARY:RBSA Candidates Exhibition 2025
DESCRIPTION:Every spring\, the Gallery hosts the RBSA Candidates Exhibition\, a show of work by artists hoping to be elected onto the first step of their journey on the Society Membership ladder. \nArtists wishing to be elected as RBSA Associates have two options; being nominated by two full RBSA Members\, or self-nomination. In both instances\, artists must demonstrate an existing connection with the Gallery\, indicating which RBSA exhibitions they have previously been selected for. To become a full Member\, artists must have been an RBSA Associate for a minimum of three years before they can put themselves forward. \nAll candidates are required to submit six pieces of work\, all of which must be representative of their current artistic practice\, alongside an artists statement about their work. \nAs well as being open to the public\, the RBSA Candidates Exhibition will also be viewed by visiting Members and Associates who will attend to take part in the ballot. To be successfully elected\, all candidates must receive 50% +1 of the votes cast. \nExisting Society Members are always on the look out for new talent to help in diversifying the Membership. Artists who are interested in joining the RBSA are encouraged to consider purchasing an RBSA Friends subscription. \nApplications for the Candidates Exhibition 2026 will be open at the end of the year. \nExhibition closes: Saturday 26 April 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Clive Bryant\, Radiance

SUMMARY:Peter Shread RBSA & Colin Simmonds RBSA
DESCRIPTION:Two Friends From Moseley School Of Art \nHaving first met at Moseley School of Art during the 1950s\, Peter Shread and Colin Simmonds have remained close friends ever since. \nThis exhibition of paintings and original prints celebrates the friendship between the two artists\, both of whom have been Members of the Society for well over 20 years. \nPeter Shread is exhibiting a collection of paintings\, woodcut and linocut prints. Through these works\, Peter explores the decorative and topographical aspects of landscape to create strong\, simplified\, and bold images. \nColin Simmonds’ collection comprises paintings\, mostly featuring landscapes\, which act as the vehicle for exploring the full range of his painterly ideas and questions his emotional responses to atmosphere\, colour\, and composition. \nThe exhibition will be opened at the Private View by long time friend and supporter of both artists\, Clive Beardsmore. \nPrivate View: Saturday 3 May 2.00pm – 4.00pm\nExhibition closes: Saturday 10 May 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Colin Simmonds RBSA\, September & Peter Shread RBSA\, Elan Valley

SUMMARY:25 For 25
DESCRIPTION:Celebrating 25 Years Of The RBSA Gallery In The Jewellery Quarter \nHaving inhabited the same site on New Street\, though in three different buildings\, for almost 180 years\, the RBSA Gallery moved to 4 Brook Street\, just off St. Paul’s Square\, in 2000. \nThis exhibition celebrates 25 years of the RBSA Gallery in the Jewellery Quarter\, and draws on the strong connections between members of the RBSA community and the Society’s permanent collection of artworks. \nTwo groups of 25 individuals\, including the President\, Vice Presidents\, Members\, Associates\, Graduate Artists\, Gallery staff\, and volunteers\, have each selected an artwork or artefact from the collection; the brief being to choose something with which they felt a personal connection. Explanations of the selectors’ choices can be seen with the artworks on display\, alongside portraits and text introducing the people behind the RBSA and its Gallery to visitors. \nAs well as works by well-known artists including William Bloye (1890 – 1975)\, Frederick Thomas Lines (1808 – 1898)\, and John Salt (1937 – 2021)\, artworks by current Members including Rob Perry (1944 -) and Wayne Attwood (1970 -) have also been selected. Documents from the archive also feature in the show\, including letters from\, surprisingly\, Buffalo Bill and\, Birmingham born creator of St Philips Cathedral’s famed stained-glass windows\, Sir Edward Burne Jones (1833 – 1898). \nPrivate View: Thursday 29 April 6.00pm – 8.00pm\nExhibition Talks: Saturday 10 May 2.00pm – 3.00pm\nExhibition closes: Saturday 24 May 5.00pm \nFeatured image: James Priddey PPRBSA\, Christchurch Passage\, c.1972\, chosen by Anne Irby Crews RBSA
