A Little Jara ~ 003

Ahead of the detailed June newsletter, this instalment of A Little Jara focuses on the return of London Gallery Weekend. As always, there is so much to see across the three days, from exhibitions and openings to artist talks. Running from 05th to 07th June 2026, it is a great excuse to explore London’s diverse cultural and creative communities.

One of the things I love about London Gallery Weekend is that it is not just about exhibitions. Across the city, there are artist talks, performances, walkthroughs, and book launches that offer an opportunity to hear directly from the artists, curators, and thinkers shaping the work on display. As I said, there is a lot to see, and I am personally going to try and see as much as possible (my Instagram Stories are going to look like this ……….) but here are some of the exhibitions and events I will be prioritising.

As always, get fly, grab a coffee, and enjoy gallery hopping across the city.
