About this event
The RWA is England’s regional Royal Academy of Art. At its core are a group of artists and architects – Academicians – who are at the forefront of their profession . Applications to become an Academician are welcomed from artists and architects with a proven track record in their field. Practitioners working in any discipline or medium are eligible to apply, including those working in painting, drawing, printmaking, sculpture, architecture, photography, performance, installation, film and video. Applications are open to all and are assessed each year. The Candidates being considered for election are invited to exhibit their work in this exhibition. This gives visitors and Academicians the opportunity to encounter the range and quality of their practice. Selection for the Candidates Exhibition is a significant achievement, and we congratulate these artists.

If this is your kind of night, these are other ways in: a collection this venue belongs to, traditions it works in, and similar exhibitions still playing in Bristol this week.
This venue’s world
This venue sits in the collection, not this one title.
Traditions this room works in
Tags on the venue. Other Bristol rooms carry the same lineage. Not a claim that this film invented the tradition.
Also playing this week
Same kind of night (exhibitions) in Bristol. Spread across the week, not a ranking.
A different kind of night
Same city and close on taste. A different discipline, on purpose.
