The map has been produced in collaboration with GalleriesNow.net and features 145 art locations in total, including 139 commercial galleries, 4 auction houses, as well as the Royal Academy and The Photographers’ Gallery. Visitors to the area will be able to pick up a map from each of the listed venues and explore the vibrant breadth of art on display, from works by the Old Masters to today’s contemporary artists. The map will also be available to download from the RA website and GalleriesNow.net. Charles Saumarez Smith, Secretary and Chief Executive of the Royal Academy of Arts, said: “In the lead up to the Royal Academy’s 250th anniversary and the opening of the Elizabeth Line at Bond Street Station in 2018, we are delighted to be working with the galleries and auction houses in the area, to present the broad range of visual arts Mayfair and St James’s has to offer.” Notes to Editors: About the Royal Academy of Arts The Royal Academy of Arts was founded by King George III of England in 1768. It has a unique position in being an independent, privately funded institution led by eminent artists and architects whose purpose is to be a clear, strong voice for art and artists. Its public programmes promote the creation, enjoyment and appreciation of the visual arts through exhibitions, education and debate. The RA is undergoing a transformative redevelopment which will be completed in time for its 250th anniversary in 2018. Led by the internationally-acclaimed architect Sir David Chipperfield RA and supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund (HLF), the plans will link Burlington House on Piccadilly and Burlington Gardens for the first time, uniting and revitalising the two-acre site. The redevelopment will also reveal the elements that make the RA unique, sharing with the public the historic treasures in its Collection, the work of its Academicians and the RA Schools, alongside its world-class exhibitions programme.

Around the World in 5 Galleries for Paddle8
April 10, 2016
Around the World in 5 Galleries - Paddle8 'the auction house for the 21st-century collector' approached GalleriesNow.net to commission an article on galleries outside of the four main art capitals.
We picked five great galleries, from five very different locations - Chemould Prescott Road in Mumbai, Galleri Magnus Karlsson in Stockholm, Le Guern Gallery in Warsaw, The Third Line in Dubai and Tucci Russo in Turin - who all thrive on an ability to combine the local with the international.
Co-founder of GalleriesNow, Patrick Fetherstonhaugh says: "The whole point of our resource is to make it easy for people to experience great art, it is fantastic to be able to bring together such geographically diverse galleries and artists in one place."
