Ever since its foundation in 1868, the RCS has taken an active interest in the promotion of Commonwealth art. Over the years, hundreds of artists from around the Commonwealth have had their art displayed in the Commonwealth Club, where it has been seen by thousands of members and visitors. To find out what is now showing at the RCS click here.
In 2010, the RCS hopes to launch an exciting new art programme - aRtCS - which will showcase the work of talented young artists from across the Commonwealth. We hope that the exhibitions, managed by aspiring young curators, can be made accessible to children in London through creative and interactive workshops. They will also provide invaluable opportunities for talented, young Commonwealth artists under 35 years old to exhibit in London, often for the first time.
The RCS is currently fundraising for aRtCS, but hopes to launch it soon. If you are interested in supporting this exciting new programme, please email Joanna Bennett at joanna.bennett@thercs.org 
or call +44 (0)20 7766 9203.
If you are an artist or aspiring curator and would like to register your interest in the aRtCS programme, please contact Gwen White at gwen.white@thercs.org who will keep you posted.
Previous Exhibitions by Young Artists
The RCS always strives to provide opportunities for budding young artists. A recent example was an exhibition of work by the young Ugandan artist, Ismael Kateregga, which was opened at the Commonwealth Club by Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni in March 2009. As a result of this exhibition, Ismael's art has gone on to be auctioned in New York and London, giving his burgeoning career a significant boost. This is the type of success that the aRtCS project strives to emulate.
Current Exhibitions:
The Continuum of Art by Johan Lamprecht - 3 February - 23 March 2010
THE CONTINUUM OF ART by Johan Lamprecht
Johan is a young South African artist and this is his first solo exhibition. The exhibition aims to analyse the underlying technologies of art, ranging from common art forms to underground methods and how they relate to the ongoing evolution of art and art form. It is also a great example of the 2010 Commonwealth Theme which is "Science, Technology and Society".
