FEBRUARY 2026

Harrow Arts Centre: for details of what’s on in February, visit www.harrowarts.com/whats-on

until 22 February: Heath Robinson Museum: Sublime Space. This exhibition places William Heath Robinson alongside 10 contemporary artists, David Inshaw, William Scott, Ray Richardson, Jemma Powell, Jonathan McCree, Sue Arrowsmith, Daniel Sturgis, Peter Coyte, Ralph Steadman, and Barnaby Barford to explore our relationship with nature and landscape as a space for creative reflection.  Whether physically walking in, observing, or imagining the landscape, ideas of the sublime continue to inspire. In his autobiography My Line of Life, Heath Robinson recalls his many extensive, contemplative walks, (often solo, or in a group affectionately known as the Froth Finders), using the openness and expanse of landscape to unfetter his thoughts, and provoke inspiration for his drawings and paintings. He wrote, “I had a love for the life of landscape painter….to live in the open and commune with nature”, this passion prevailed throughout his career, even though his landscape art is rarely seen. In the context of this exhibition, however, we can see this dialogue between art, nature, and space remains central, and critical to artists today, not only as aesthetic experiences, but also as a creative aperture offering freedom to explore wider emotional,  intellectual, and socio-political concerns despite our increasingly saturated digital age. By juxtaposing these artists Sublime Space invites us to consider how ideas of nature, space, and the sublime continue to evolve — and how art helps us connect to the world around us in both timeless and timely ways. The Museum is open 11am-4pm, Thursday-Sunday. Tickets: adults, £8; child 5-15, £2 (under 5s free); concessions (student, disabled person, in receipt of benefits) £4; carer (with disabled person) free; Art Fund, free.

Every Friday: Elliott Hall Surgery Walk. Meet at Harrow Arts Centre at the Sundial at 10.30am for a 50-minute friendly health walk through Pinner Park Farm and back. All are welcome. For more walks, visit www.harrow/gov.walk or email publichealth@harrow.gov.uk for more info.

28 February-28 June:Heath Robinson Museum: The Life in a Line brings together an extraordinary lineup of artists to show just how far a single drawn line can go — from explosive expression to razorsharp precision, from humour to psychological depth. The experience begins the moment visitors step inside. Mr Doodle has turned the entrance walls and windows into a vast handpainted mural — a riot of characters and flowing lines that sets the tone for the exhibition. Inside, he unveils a new series of largescale works featuring machinelike figures drawn in his signature continuous “spaghetti” line, which spills across canvases and onto the museum walls. These energetic drawings playfully connect with the ingenious contraptions of Heath Robinson, and his rarely seen cartoons of the adventures of Mr Spodnoodle, shown here for the first time in decades. The exhibition shifts in tone to the psychological, with a powerful small portrait by Frank Auerbach and a rare group of intense ink drawings by the late frontman of The Pogues, Shane McGowan. The final gallery brings these voices together in a salon style display that charts drawing’s evolution from the late 19th century to today. Visitors will find: Damien Hirst’s original drawing for the Diamond encrusted skull, For the Love of God (2007) Glenn Brown’s unsettling reworkings of Old Master imagery. Etchings by Picasso and Matisse. Giacometti’s fiercely expressive standing figure David Inshaw’s original study for The Badminton Match  Andy Warhol portraits. works by Jake Chapman, Zavier Ellis and Matthew Collings. The Museum is open 11am-4pm, Thursday-Sunday. Tickets: adults, £8; child 5-15, £2 (under 5s free); concessions (student, disabled person, in receipt of benefits) £4; carer (with disabled person) free; Art Fund, free.
