Your weekly round-up of the shows, openings, and art-world happenings worth stepping out for.
London — London Art + Climate Week
When: Now through 16 November
Location: Various
London’s leading museums, galleries and creative institutions are joining forces this autumn for the first-ever London Art + Climate Week, a new five-day programme spotlighting how the arts can respond to the climate crisis. With 25+ organisations taking part, expect exhibitions, talks, and workshops exploring sustainability, climate justice, and the future of cultural production. The initiative is led by Frances Morris, former Director of Tate Modern, who hopes the programme will spark conversations — and action — well beyond gallery walls.
New York — To define a feeling: Joan Mitchell, 1960–1965
When: Now through 13 December
Location: David Zwirner, 20th Street, New York
A focused look at one of the most electrifying periods of Joan Mitchell’s practice, this exhibition traces the artist’s early 1960s shift toward the expansive, emotionally charged canvases that defined her work. Expect lush colour fields, fierce brushwork, and that unmistakable Mitchell intensity — a perfect antidote to grey November days.
Paris — RH Gallery
Location: RH Gallery, Paris
Furniture, antiques, and art installations are displayed in gallery-style vignettes, blending design with contemporary art in a way only Paris can pull off. Better still, it’s completely free to visit, and there’s a bar and a rooftop restaurant with panoramic views of the city.
Dubai — Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook: The Bouquet and the Wreath
When: Now through 15 May 2026
Location: Jameel Arts Centre, Dubai
Araya Rasdjarmrearnsook brings her poetic, deeply human approach to this new exhibition, where image, ritual, and community converge. Expect her signature blend of film, installation, and staged encounters — moments where everyday life meets the charged space of art. A quiet, contemplative highlight for anyone passing through Jaddaf Waterfront this season.
