Artists on this forum that deal with self-promotion offer is to pay attention to this event:

Summer Exhibition at the Royal Academy of Arts, London

In a nutshell:
This is a unique and very real possibility "hang" and even sell their work at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts in London.
Summer exhibition (Summer Exhibition) - the only commercial exhibition in the calendar of the Royal Academy.

http://www.royalacademy.org.uk/summerexhibition/

Actions:
1. Pay "participant form" through the site of the Academy with a credit card. Part one work - £ 25, two works - 50 pounds. Better to send one work, rarely take two works of one artist.
2. Profile with all the chores you send by mail to the address.
3. Fill out the form according to the instructions, including you yourself assign a price to work (any price within a 5-or 6-digits).
4. Send an application deadline - March 12, an application must be there. The work in London, making a natural export permit. Work must be physically in London in early April.
5. If you're lucky, at the Academy of the selection committee include your work in the exhibition. If they like your work, they even printed postcards and posters (sell them in the museum shop), first ask you for permission to reproduce the work. (You will receive an official letter to ofigenskoy paper, with a crest and water marks in the family archive, place.)
6. From June 10 to August 18, people walking, watching, selects and buys.
7. At the end of the exhibition, if someone made a bid to buy your work, representative of the Academy contact you and send the proceeds minus 30%- is they take themselves.
8. If the work is not for sale, it must be picked up within a month it seems.
This is certainly a chore, so it's best if the work is sold.

Basically everything.

Costly part of this course logistics.
But if we can unite to share costs. I would like to send something. Anyone?? ))))

Given the logistics costs, and 30%commission of the Academy, the money does not earn, if not put the normal price. This is up to you to assess how much work - that would not be a bad bargain (still in London), but not to scare everyone there lords and Abramovich and Berezovsky.
In secret, I can say that I was there sold one work of young, unknown artist from St. Petersburg (though large, excellent) at a price similar to the cost of the new German medium car. But I was lucky, do not expect this success.

An average of about 12.000 applications around the world. Since the use tapestry hanging, then there are chances.

Something like this.
All of this information is on the site of the Academy of the link above.

Only post?

Just the same application form is purchased online, but the Academy sends a form (after you have paid) to you by mail.

Form must be completed yourself, by hand, and to mail back.

I was hoping you can fill out an application in electronic form (after paying, of course).

Not an option.

For foreigners, it is quite a chore , especially with the departure of an application by mail , you can fly with all dates .
Second, you somehow hushed up the basic problem -work to the Academy is to be delivered on a certain day hands without packing -t e -mail it to any Academy is not right, need a specific person delivering the work. Similarly, it must be hand- pick.
 And if you do not take , all the same, but without the fun.

And if you do not take

I mean do not buy?

[Seriy]

artcol, no, if the selection committee will not work for the exhibition , they'll take jobs live , te you must bring a certain day work without package , put it at the wall, at a certain time , and the selection committee will if the work is not selected , it must once again pick up in person . Who is delayed , fine of 15 pounds a week.

T e all like us vystavkomah - store personal nowhere will bring hands - revealed - picked.

Seriy, for you know how to read English, but not to the end, and that the more lamentable approach you certainly typical "soviet" (I hate that word, but I can not find another excuse). Nuances do not know, coming from a back, frankly, with that mindset we are not on track. Bad karma seems to say so.

You are invited to "hang out" at the Royal Academy in London for their own interest, certainly not in mine, is easier for me no help, and to do all and no steam. "Hush", "no fun", "bring, put against the wall" (ohrenet), etc. The hands are lowered ...

For those who are not breathing skepticism, explain:

In the word "logistics" is not only a departure from Moscow to London, but also cargo handling independent company affiliated to the Academy in place.
Shipping address to the address of the company. On receipt of the goods, the company is responsible for the further process. No he does not carry anything anywhere, decompress, leans against the wall, and do not stare into the eyes of the jury softly.

The same company, if the work is not for sale, takes her back to his store and have your case is how to take a job with them. They, for example, can send it back to you. That's why I said that it is desirable to sell, and you will have to pay to send two ends.
Naturlich, this service costs money.

After the exhibition, there are at least two weeks, which would organize the export of works, only after that time window penalties.

Something missed?
Any more questions?

Yes - photos, video art, sculpture, short dance!

My idea: build a pool of participants and share costs. All the organizational work, I take a reasonable range. I would like to create an atmosphere of participation /cooperation - this is important. Otherwise I'm not interested and do not need anybody.
