The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra (RPO) is excited to announce Jeremy Houghton as its Visual Artist-in-Residence for its landmark 80th anniversary year.
Renowned for capturing behind-the-scenes glimpses through exclusive residencies, Jeremy has been documenting extraordinary communities for more than two decades, from Windsor Castle to the Olympic Games. His 2026 residency with the RPO will see him go behind the scenes to observe, sketch and paint the Orchestra, creating a unique body of work that will reveal rarely seen moments.
This body of work featuring the RPO will be exhibited later in the year and made available for sale, with a percentage of the proceeds being donated to the Orchestra.

His two-decade residencies span royal, military and sporting communities, from Windsor Castle for HM Queen Elizabeth II, to Wimbledon, the Vatican and the London 2012 Olympics.
