Young Artists’ Summer Show 2026
The College is thrilled to announce that three students from the Fine Art department have achieved national recognition after having their work selected for the Royal Academy of Arts’ online Young Artists’ Summer Show 2026.
Sara P, Atticus B and Isabel M, all 6.2 Fine Art A Level students, were chosen from thousands of entries submitted by students across the UK. Their selected works are Armour of Instinct, Musk and Untitled respectively.
The Young Artists’ Summer Show, now in its eighth year, is a free open-submission exhibition for young people aged 4–18 studying in the UK. Entries are reviewed by a panel of artists and arts professionals, with successful artworks exhibited online and on-site at the Royal Academy of Arts.
Last year, more than 23,000 students entered the competition, making this year’s selections a significant accomplishment for the students and the Fine Art department.
The online exhibition will launch on Tuesday 14 July, when all selected artworks will become available to view on the Royal Academy website. The works will remain part of the online exhibition indefinitely.
Madeleine Osikoya, Fine Art A Level Course Leader at Esher, shared:
“We are incredibly proud of these talented students who have shown creativity, originality and excellent technical skill in their work. A fantastic culmination of their hard work over the last two years. We are all looking forward to seeing the artworks in the exhibition.”
