Every year since 1768, the Summer Exhibition has been held at the Royal Academy of Arts in London. But any artist from around the world can submit his or her art to the prestigious exhibition in the hope of having it exhibited. 
J.M.W. Turner, John Constable, and even Winston Churchill, to name a few, have had their art included in past summer exhibitions.
