RBA Star Students 2020-21

Developed with the Royal Society of British Artists (RBA), the RBA Star Students competition encourages aspiring young artists who are identified by The Arts Society's local Societies and whose artworks are entered for it. The RBA then selects the very best pieces for exhibition.

Twenty exceptional finalists were chosen during a unprecedented year for schools, we would like to extend a big thank you to our volunteers, the teachers and the students for their hard work in making this competition possible this year. All artworks demonstrated the highest levels of skill, expression and draughtsmanship using a variety of mediums, exploring equally varied subjects. 

The online exhibitions at The Mall Galleries and The Royal Over-Seas League (ROSL) will hopefully take place in spring 2021.
