Mall Galleries Shows

Now that the Threadneedle Prize junk fest is grinding to a halt, real art can return to the Mall Galleries in London. On 16 October the Royal Society Of Miniature Painters, Sculptors And Gravers opens its annual show with around 700 works on display. This is the world's foremost showcase for contemporary miniature art. Prices start at around £120. The following day sees the opening of the Royal Society of Marine Artists Annual Exhibition. Entry costs £2.50 for adults, £1.50 for silver surfers. Shown is a detail from Richard Dack's Woodbridge. Both exhibitions run until 28 October, closing at 1pm on the final day (CLICK).
