Art Almanac | February 2026

How does reflection – both on recent and longer art legacies – enrich the art we have, the works underway, and what is still to come?

This is a key question of our February 2026 issue. To get you thinking, ahead of time, we start with two previews. Emma-Kate Wilson takes a look at Gracie Greene – It’s Time, opening at Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery on 14 February. Sadly, Greene passed away in July, but as Wilson’s discussion with exhibition curator Lee Kinsella shows us, while sadness is to be expected, this show is also a celebration and an opportunity for multiple viewpoints into her legacies, on which the artist herself – on hearing of the exhibition – said: “it’s about time”.
