On June 4, 2015, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II accompanied by Her Royal Highness The Princess Royal and Her Royal Highness The Countess of Wessex celebrated the 100th anniversary of the National Federation of Women’s Institute (NFWI) at the Royal Albert Hall in London.
Established in 1915, the purpose of the NFWI was:
“…to revitalise rural communities and encourage women to become more involved in producing food during the First World War. Since then the organisation’s aims have broadened and the WI is now the largest voluntary women’s organisation in the UK.
The WI plays a unique role in providing women with educational opportunities and the chance to build new skills, to take part in a wide variety of activities and to campaign on issues that matter to them and their communities.”
On Wednesday, June 3, 2015, Her Royal Highness The Duchess of Cornwall was the guest of honor at the 2015 Royal Academy of Arts Annual Dinner held at the Royal Academy of the Arts in London, England.
During last evening’s gala the lovely duchess had a chance to view the Summer Exhibition 2015. According to the official website for the Royal Academy of the Arts the exhibition:
“…offers a snapshot of contemporary art – and this year promises a riot of colour, variety and discovery with over 1,200 works spilling out from our galleries.
In the courtyard, visitors will be confronted by a towering formation of steel ‘clouds’, created by Royal Academician Conrad Shawcross, before Jim Lambie’s kaleidoscopic stairs lead up to the Main Galleries.
This year, the exhibition is co-ordinated by Michael Craig-Martin RA – a leading artist of his generation and the teacher who nurtured the talents of Gary Hume, Sarah Lucas and Damien Hirst. His distinctive creative vision promises room after room bursting with variety, colour and remarkable new work by leading and emerging artists – all handpicked from over 12,000 entries.
The Summer Exhibition is the world’s oldest open-submission exhibition: its earliest exhibitors included the likes of Reynolds, Constable and Turner. With many works in the exhibition on sale, the show also gives you a chance to own some original art while supporting the historic Royal Academy schools; artwork sales help us to continue the free tuition that we have offered for nearly 250 years.
With everything from painting, printmaking and sculpture through to installation, photography and film, this is a show unlike any other. We hope you’ll join us for a vibrant summer of colour.”
