The Royal Academy "annual exhibition of paintings, sculptures and designs is open to all artists..., this started 250 years ago. According to RA website, this is to help the young and/or up coming artists to finance their studies at the Royal Academy School.
Here is a big opportunity for young and talented artists to showcase their own art work! I got fascinated by the 'VENUS DE'MEDICI,' and I found out that his, 'unique fibreglas sculpture, hand painted with Dutch wax pattern, bespoke hand- coloured globe and steel baseplate was one of the most expensive sculptures with cost value of £ 162,000. The art works were made by Lagos-bred Nigerian UK-born Yinka Shonibare, who later returned to the U.K. to study at the Royal School Academy.
