The Facts
Southbank Centre's Winter Light exhibition transforms the Riverside Terrace in London with outdoor artworks that play with light and colour. The exhibition runs from October 28, 2026 to January 31, 2027, and is free to visit. Featured artists include David Batchelor, Jakob Kvist, Nathaniel Rackowe, Squire & Partners, and Fred Tschida. The works explore how light shapes experience of place, from the built environment to the natural world. The Riverside Terrace is an outdoor space overlooking the River Thames at the Royal Festival Hall.
The Signal
Winter Light continues Southbank Centre's tradition of presenting accessible, outdoor art during the darker months. By focusing on light and colour, the exhibition invites visitors to experience the urban landscape in a new way and reinforces the role of public art in engaging audiences in a central London location. The free, open-air format lowers barriers to engagement, making contemporary art available to a broad public.
