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.

  • Informal Peer Learning Between Contemporary Artists in Bristol and Selected Uk Cities Outside London
    INFORMAL PEER LEARNING BETWEEN CONTEMPORARY ARTISTS IN BRISTOL AND SELECTED UK CITIES OUTSIDE LONDON How do contemporary artists learn from their peers outside of formal education and what motivates them to do so? MEGAN LOUISE WAKEFIELD A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the University of the West of England, Bristol for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy This research programme was carried out in collaboration with Spike Island, Bristol Faculty of Arts, Creative Industries and Education February 2013 1 ABSTRACT Informal Peer Learning between Contemporary Artists in Bristol and Selected UK Cities Outside London How do contemporary artists learn from their peers outside of formal education and what motivates them to do so? This research has been carried out as part of a collaborative doctoral award with partners Spike Island Art and Design Centre and University of the West of England. It employs a mixed methods approach, including participatory action research, reflexive practice and semi-structured interviews to explore artists’ peer learning in the context of literature from education theory, network theory, philosophy, art theory and sociology. It takes as research participants, artists from the Spike Associates Group, Spike Island, Bristol, and artists from self-organised groups and organisationally facilitated membership groups in several UK cities outside London. It found that peer interactions between artists are particularly significant in times of transition when peer learning pivots on mutual recognition, countering isolation, nurturing self-determination and accessing resources. The construction and reconstruction of practitioner subjectivities and practice identities is a significant peer learning process, often incorporating the initiation of spaces where practice identities can be temporarily suspended.

She made her name in Ireland as Ophelia in a 1737 production of Hamlet and came to London in 1740. Here she was an immediate success. One of her most celebrated roles was as Sir Harry Wilder, at the Theatre Royal, Drury Lane. She caused quite a stir in this part by wearing breeches. Beautiful and celebrated, she met and fell in love with the actor David Garrick who was living in Hampton and they planned to marry. For whatever reason she left him in 1744 and moved to Teddington.
