SUMMARY:RBSA Watercolour Prize 2025
DESCRIPTION:The first RBSA Watercolour Prize for over a decade celebrates work created using water-based media; including watercolour\, ink\, gouache\, and acrylic paint. \nDespite early use as a medium in its own right\, historically watercolour was most often used by artists for sketching\, employed in preparation for final works completed in oils. \nThe medium finally gained recognition as an independent\, mature painting medium in the 18th century\, and today water-based media has achieved parity with oil paint. \nThis exhibition includes traditional and contemporary water-based works\, by artists from all around the world. \nThis year’s exhibition was selected by: \n\nChris Myers PPRI RBA – President of the Royal Institute of Painters in Watercolour (2022 – 2025)\nGlenn Ibbitson VPRWSW RBSA – Vice President of the Royal Watercolour Society of Wales\nLesley Samms – Founder/MD Pure Arts Group\n\nThe following prizes will be awarded:\nFirst Prize £1000\nSecond Prize £500\nThird Prize £250\nUp to six highly commended certificates will also be awarded. \nAll prizes have been sponsored by the Birmingham Watercolour Society. \nA fully illustrated catalogue\, featuring every work in the show\, will be available to accompany the exhibition. This will be available in our Gallery Shop and online. \nPrivate View: Thursday 7 August 6.00pm – 8.00pm\nMeet the Artists: Saturdays 16 August and 6 September 2.00pm – 3.00pm\nExhibition closes: Saturday 13 September 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Lawrence Green ARBSA\, Cley Postholder \nPurchase your copy of the catalogue here. \nRBSA Watercolour Prize Catalogue 2025

SUMMARY:RBSA Young Artists Prize 2025
DESCRIPTION:The RBSA Gallery is proud to present the first ever RBSA Young Artists Prize. This exhibition was open to children aged between 4 and 17 from across the city of Birmingham\, Sandwell District\, Solihull\, Wolverhampton\, and Dudley. Entering was free and the aim of the show is to give the region’s young creatives a taste of what it’s like to be an artist and the opportunity to exhibit their artwork in an established art gallery. \nArtists were split into four age categories; 4 – 6 years\, 7 – 10 years\, 11 – 14 years\, and 15 – 17 years\, and age was also taken into consideration within these age groups. The focus of this exhibition is on imagination and creativity\, and we welcomed work from young artists working in a wide variety of media. \nThrough this exhibition\, the RBSA hopes to welcome a completely new audience into the Gallery\, and break down perceived barriers to allow more people to enjoy and access art. \nThe exhibition was selected by: \n\nEd Isaacs PRBSA – RBSA President\nRuth Millington – art historian\, critic\, writer\, and author of children’s book This Book Will Make You An Artist\nKarolina Korupczynska – Co-founder and Director of Stryx Gallery\n\nFollowing the judging\, it was felt that the quality of the work not selected to be shown at the RBSA Gallery was so high that it deserved to be exhibited. We are therefore delighted to announce that Stryx Gallery have generously given us their space to show these works from 27 – 30 August. Please see below for Stryx opening times. \nEvery participating child will receive a certificate acknowledging them as an RBSA Young Artist 2025\, and those with work in the RBSA Gallery are invited to a Prize Giving Event on Saturday 30 August. The day will be split into different time slots for each age category: \n\n4 – 6 years 11.00am – 11.45am\n7 – 10 years 12.00pm – 12.45pm\n11 – 14 years 1.00pm – 1.45pm\n15 – 17 years 2.00pm – 2.45pm\n\nPrizes have been generously sponsored by Cass Art. \n \nPrize Giving Event: Saturday 30 August\nExhibition closes: Saturday 30 August 5.00pm \nFeatured image: Adelina Chan\, Voyage Of The Blue (detail) \nStryx Gallery\, 90 Vyse Street\, Jewellery Quarter\, Birmingham\, B18 6JZ\n27 – 30 August\nWednesday – Friday 10.30am – 3.30pm\nSaturday 10.00am – 12.00pm \nRBSA Young Artists Prize Catalogue 2025
