Young Artists Exhibition 2023


Join us in celebrating our students and their work at our annual Young Artist Exhibition at the Royal Drawing School this July!


Young Artists Exhibition 2023
Drawing by Corey Mackrell-Hey, age 17, Young Associates Online

It's  been a fantastic year and we are very much looking forward to celebrating our students and their work.  

A wide range of drawings by students of the Royal Drawing School's Young Artists programme will be on display at the Young Artists Exhibition 2023 which open to view for the public from Friday 7 July until Friday 14 July. 

The selection was made by our senior faculty to reflect the range and talent of our Young Artists.  This represents a small fraction of the thousands of drawings that have been made during the course of the last academic year. Each week students challenge themselves to capture their observations of the world around them on paper.  This is a rare opportunity for these young artists to show their work in a professionally curated public exhibition at the Royal Drawing School’s large gallery space in the creative East End.  

The exhibition is open to all and you do not need to book a ticket to attend.  If you can't make it to the exhibition in-person, a selection of work from the exhibition is available to view online.

Exhibition open: 7–14 July 2023, Monday to Friday 9am–9pm, and Saturday 8 July 10am–6pm, closed Sunday.


This year our young artists got the opportunity to ask guest speaker Dapo Adeola some questions about his creative career and the secret to becoming an illustrator – you might be able to guess, but it involves a lot of drawing!
