The King's Traveling Artists Exhibition debuts at Buckingham Palace's summer opening ceremony

This summer, visitors touring the state rooms of Buckingham Palace will enjoy a special exhibition titled "The King's Traveling Artists," featuring over 70 artworks from His Majesty's private collection.Many of these works have never been publicly displayed before.

In the spring of 1985, the then Prince of Wales personally funded and invited John Ward to serve as the official touring artist during the royal visit to Italy, encouraging him to create works inspired by his experiences. For the next 40 years, the King personally selected and financed an artist to accompany the royal delegation on overseas visits, maintaining largely the same itinerary. The exhibition and accompanying publication will feature 42 artists who have held this role, collectively visiting 95 countries across 69 official tours.

To honor His Majesty the King's longstanding patronage of the arts, this program offers both established and emerging artists the opportunity to receive unique commissions and enjoy dedicated creative time during visits to various countries. The works displayed in the palace banquet hall, personally selected by the King from his private collection, will showcase moments from royal journeys, capturing the tone, colors, and atmosphere of the royal family in ways distinct from photographic documentation.
