Simple Reflections
Art & Culture Showcase

March 28, 2026 | Museum London | 11 am to 5 pm

​

As part of London’s Bicentennial year, the Simple Reflections Cultural Showcase celebrates the global cultures and lived experiences that continue to shape our city’s story.

​

This free, one-day live arts event will feature more than 80 local musicians, dancers, and visual artists whose work reflects traditions from around the world. Hosted at Museum London, the event invites reflection on how far London has come over 200 years and how the creative contributions of diverse communities continue to strengthen and reimagine our shared future.

​

Live painting, dancing, and musical performances that fuse global styles will animate the Centre at the Forks throughout the day. Visitors are invited to experience live performances, explore the visual arts showcase, and meet artists as they create in real time. Museum London will also be open for touring.

​

Simple Reflections for Artists was founded to remove barriers for local artists who have come from around the world to make London their home. The collective’s mandate is to foster connection through the fusion of culture and community, using the visual and performing arts as a bridge.

​

“In many parts of the world, festivals are built through collective effort, with each person contributing what they can,” says founder Dario Novoa. “That spirit of collaboration lives here in London. Our Bicentennial year is an opportunity to celebrate not only where we began, but who we have become together.”

 

The event is entirely volunteer-led and co-created by local artists. It is made possible through the generous support of Museum London, the Digital Creative Arts Centre, the Forest City London Music Awards, and Downtown London.

​

All are welcome.
