The RSA New Contemporaries, supported by Walter Scott & Partners Ltd, represents the Royal Scottish Academy’s commitment to supporting and promoting contemporary art and architecture in Scotland. Now in its twelfth year, this carefully curated exhibition offers a unique opportunity to see some of the best emerging talent in Scotland under one roof. Showcasing 62 graduates selected from the 2019 degree shows, the exhibition features a wonderful array of painting, sculpture, film-making, photography, printmaking, installation, performance and architecture.
This year's selection was made by Exhibition Convenor Lennox Dunbar RSA, with assistance from fellow Academicians and representatives from the five main colleges of art. The five Scottish schools of architecture are each represented by graduates selected by Architecture Convenor Dick Cannon RSA.
We are delighted that the exhibition is once again kindly supported by our Exhibition Patrons Walter Scott & Partners Ltd and, for the twelfth consecutive year, The Skinny is our Media Partner.
The RSA New Contemporaries exhibition is accompanied by a full colour publication and many works are available for purchase. The RSA is part of the Own Art scheme, offering interest-free credit for people to buy contemporary art and craft. For further details email exhibition@royalscottishacademy.org
