The 143rd Royal Ulster Academy Annual Exhibition, Belfast UK

The Royal Ulster Academy’s annual exhibition stands as a highlight of Northern Ireland’s cultural calendar. This celebrated event offers a distinctive platform for both renowned artists and emerging talents to display their creations in their national museum. Visitors can explore a diverse array of visual arts, including painting, sculpture, audiovisual works, ceramics, textiles, and mixed media.
