FEBRUARY...
Lots of exhibitions, shows and events
February 2026
With the hustle of the holidays squarely behind us, February is the time to start looking ahead. This month, we celebrate Black History Month, as well as Groundhog Day on Feb 2, Valentine’s Day on Feb 14, Family Day on Feb 16, and the Lunar New Year on Feb 17-- join us in welcoming the Year of the Horse!
Just because this February won’t have an extra day, doesn’t mean we can’t spend the month having fun! With the weather growing warmer and the winter turning to spring, there are lots of exhibitions, shows, and events to enjoy. Check out the listings starting on page 21 to find something exciting to check out!
In the ACS Gallery for February, we have Sussanne Hoiberg’s show “Art is Love” and Mareija Eskelinen’s show “Nature’s Melody”. Both exhibitions will be on display from Feb 2 - 27. And you can join the artists at their opening reception on Feb 7, from 1 - 3pm, including an artist talk by one of the artists!
This year, the ACS Team is focusing on “inspiration” as our annual theme. Where do you find the most inspiration? Is it in the sets on stage of the theatre shows you’ve watched? Is it in the illustrations or photographs in the art books you’ve read? (Find a new one to read on page 16!) Do you find inspiration in magazines like this one? If you have a story about being inspired or inspiring someone else, send it our way!
Oh, and don’t forget, Groundhog Day is Feb 2!
