About Opportunity

The Discerning Eye invites UK-based artists to participate in their annual exhibition, which will take place at the Mall Galleries in London from November 17 to November 26, 2023, and will be available online until December 31, 2023. Prints, pictures, and sculptures are all acceptable mediums, but all works must be the artist's unique invention. The selection committee will choose artists to give them the opportunity to showcase their work at the Mall Galleries as well as in a one-of-a-kind virtual exhibition, with the potential to win a variety of prizes.

About Organizer

The Discerning Eye is a UK-based educational foundation that was established in 1990. Art organizations promote a broader awareness and pleasure of the visual arts, as well as debate regarding the role and purpose of art. 

Since 1999, exhibition sponsor ING has funded the annual show.  

The Federation of British Artists manages the Mall Galleries, which opened in 1961. The gallery encourages artists through various initiatives such as exhibitions and activities, as well as prizes and awards.
