Make a Pinhole Camera Obscura - Drop in Workshop with Martin Edwards
The camera obscura is an optical device which predates photography, but remains the basis of every camera to this day. Create a miniature pinhole camera in only 15 minutes and have a look through a vintage film camera based on the same design.
Photolab
PhotoLab is a place for everyone to explore, play and investigate. You will find self-led creative activities inspired by photography, and objects such as lenses, mirrors, lights and even a darkroom installation to explore with all your senses.
PhotoLab challenges anyone with a camera phone to use the lightbox to photograph something special that later gets displayed on RWA digital screens.

RWA Photo Open Exhibition 2023
The RWA Photo Open celebrates contemporary photographic practice in all its forms. This Open Call exhibition invited submissions from artists and photographers, at any stage of their careers, who create photographic work or explore the nature of photography in their work. Often side-lined as a significant artform, the Photo Open aims to showcase the sheer quality and range of photographic work being produced by photographers and artists across the UK and abroad now.
Jem Southam: A Bend In The River
The RWA presents a special exhibition by leading Bristol-born photographer Jem Southam.
Southam is known for his diligently observed landscape photography documenting subtle changes in an environment over time, often photographing his surroundings in the South West of England.
Between Work and Window: Photographs of RWA Academicians by Anne-Katrin Purkiss
This exhibition of photographs of Royal West of England Academicians forms part of a larger collection of portraits, documenting British artists in the context of their working environment. It is an ongoing project that began more than thirty years ago with photographs of artists commissioned for press and news agencies and that is now pursued largely out of personal interest and based on commissions from the art galleries and publishers.
