Yes, yes there is. Like falling in love. Or getting your work seen by masses of people. Or getting acquainted with a new city. While we can’t help much with the former two, nor can we give you fool- proof ways to ace your way through academia, getting acquainted (or re- acquainted) with a place you now have to call home is something we’re experts on. Each of us at ArtRabbit has gone through the daunting task of navigating the cultural terrain of new cities and the art world at large as wide-eyed uni students, and we’ve all come out the other end full of wisdom that your school administration could only dream of imparting. This how-to guide (or where-to guide) isn’t just for finding places to see art. This is about getting the most out of your formative years and the most from the city you’ll call home, whichever city that might be. We’ve divided our guide in two sections: The first is all about specific locations. We curated the London chapter and worked with some of the most interesting local organisations to introduce other UK cities.
