About Opportunity

The internationally recognized UK-based Mall Galleries, in collaboration with the Royal Institute of Oil Painters (ROI), invites both local and international oil painters to submit their work for the ROI 2025 Exhibition. This year’s special theme is ‘HOME’, and the ROI Themed Painting Prize will be awarded to the piece that most effectively interprets this concept. Only works created in oil paint are eligible. An international selection panel composed of ROI members will review submissions and contact the selected artists regarding artwork delivery.

About Organizer
