The Royal Ulster Academy of Arts invites artists worldwide to submit original works for its prestigious 144th Annual Exhibition, held at the Ulster Museum, Belfast, Northern Ireland from mid-October 2025 to January 6, 2026. Open to all visual art disciplines including painting, sculpture, ceramics, textiles, and mixed media, submissions must be created between 2022 and 2025, with no prior exhibition in Northern Ireland. Artists over 18 can enter up to three artworks via the online platform.
