The Royal Institute of Oil Painters presents the ROI Annual Exhibition 2026.
The ROI is the only major national art society that is devoted exclusively to the art of oil painting and its annual exhibition platforms the continued, contemporary relevance of the medium.
Showcasing works by many of the nation's top oil painters, alongside talented artists selected from an open call, this exhibition is the best place to see and buy contemporary oil paintings. The diversity of subjects is matched by the variety of approaches, making for a rigorous and exciting survey of oil painting today.
Young Artist Awards
The ROI takes a keen interest in encouraging the development of younger artists, notably through the Winsor & Newton Young Artist Awards which has become an important feature of the Annual Exhibition.
