A special fundraising exhibition of paintings by members of the Royal Institute of Painters in Water Colours (RI) will be held in the North Galleries at Mall Galleries from November 8 - 13.

The RI is a registered charity dedicated to the aesthetic education of the public by the promotion of the art of painting in watercolours.

The exhibition will feature diverse styles and techniques, from traditional uses of the medium to more experimental and innovative paintings produced in water-soluble media.

All proceeds from the sale of works will go towards the RI continuing to encourage the next generation of artists working in water-soluble media, through exhibitions, workshops, prizes and awards.

Admission is free (donations welcome).
