ArtSpam Favourites: August 2026
Yes, I know this is awfully late, but I have my reasons. My reasons being I am in the middle of a home renovation and it has taken up a hell of a lot of my time and it is super annoying. That being said, it was also august and if you know anything of the artworld in august is that it is pretty much dead say for the big museums and institutions. There isnt really much happening in town. Most galleries shut for the summer and pretty much everyone is away. Oh well. But here it is a very late but still excellent ArtSpam favourites for August 2026.
