This year, thanks to our bursary schemes in partnership with Art Fund and the Paul Mellon Centre, we were able to welcome to London Gallery Weekend more UK-based and international curators than ever before.

Both schemes support visits from museum curators, helping to build lasting connections and encourage shared learning between the public and private sectors.

We’re grateful to each and every one of this year’s curators for engaging so generously with the gallery and events programme and making the most of this opportunity.

Cork Street Galleries, an initiative of The Pollen Estate, is pleased to announce that Lubaina Himid’s Cork Street Galleries Banners Commission 2026 has officially opened to the public to coincide with London Gallery Weekend 2026.

For her Cork Street Galleries Banners Commission, Lubaina Himid presents ‘Reading the Label’. The installation on Cork Street presents a selection of men Lubaina Himid has painted during the past 12 years in which there are unspoken conversations transmitted through clothing. Around Cork Street there are many bespoke tailors and establishments selling ready-to-wear clothes and shoes which the artist has been fascinated by for a number of years. Reading the Label will turn Cork Street into a place about the secret language of dress.

Lubaina Himid RA, CBE: “I am absolutely delighted to be invited to be this year’s artist for the Cork Street Galleries Banner Commission. It has given me an opportunity to open up conversations through chance encounters about memory and meaning in connection with the decisions we all make about what we wear.”

The 2026 Cork Street Galleries Banners Commission is launching to coincide with London Gallery Weekend, which is taking place from 5 to 7 June 2026.
