An essential part of the London art calendar, the Royal Academy’s Summer Exhibition is the largest open contemporary art exhibition in the world, drawing together a wide range of new and recent work by established, unknown and emerging artists. It is also one of the largest art fairs in the world and makes a significant commercial contribution to the Academy.

An exciting and rare opportunity for an exceptional individual has arisen to join the team as Summer Exhibition Manager. This position is responsible for other Royal Academy exhibitions throughout the year, principally Royal Academician member shows.
