The Royal Watercolour Society is marking the historic events of 2012 with a very special exhibition. Showing at Bankside Gallery during the London Olympics, the build up to the games has provided a wealth of inspiration to RWS artists in preparation for the show.

In honour of the Society's Royal Patron HM The Queen, the Diamond Jubilee celebrations taking place this year also form an integral part of the exhibition, with works depicting the full panoply of events, from the River Pageant on the Thames to the Beacons being lit across Britain.

Be it 'Sporting' or 'Royal', Britain in all of its myriad diversity will be found at Bankside Gallery this Summer. Come and join the celebration!
