Entry Through the Gift Shop OK we’re continuing our series of fun museum games for you. Usually your museum visit would end here, but this time we start here. Pick a postcard from the shop that features an artwork currently on display in the museum. Then head off into the galleries to find the original. Pass staircases, escalators, exhibition rooms, a few wrong turns, and glimpses of other artworks along the way. Your mission is simply to track down your postcard. Museums don’t always have to be serious, and the gift shop often contains plenty of clues about the collection itself. Next time you visit a museum, try it yourself and enter through the shop. It’s surprisingly addictive, and also a great game for little ones. Highly recommend the @tate museum shops for this. They’re basically built for the challenge. Follow along for more playful ways to explore art, and discover exhibitions, artists and galleries with ArtRabbit. #museum #tatemodern #art #funart #activity

We’re in the New York Times. This has been years in the making for me and for my incredible colleagues across the pond, all of us working toward a platform that helps people find the right art for them. Earlier this year, I merged Art Hap with @artrabbit , and now lead our New York initiatives. The response has been overwhelming. We’re highlighted alongside other strong apps and teams who care deeply about art exhibitions, but ArtRabbit stands apart. We are an international team that has spent decades building tools for the arts. We are artists, art historians, designers, developers, and curators. We are here for the long run, and we are listening. ArtRabbit is available on iOS, Android, and the web. Our newsletters are thoughtful and accurate. We remain a free submission platform with virtual event hosting, open to artists, pop ups, galleries, universities, and museums. And we go far beyond simply listing an event. We build strategic partnerships, connect with collectors, and offer advertorial opportunities that meaningfully translate into visibility, sales, and real community. We’ve proven our value for nearly two decades, and we’re just getting started. Had to stop by my wonderful neighbors @katesferriprojects for a picture! Don’t miss their opening for Borris Torres tonight 5-8pm.

We went to the @nationalgallery with one mission: ❤️ Team Red 💚 Team Green Split up, no rules. One objective: hunt down as many paintings as possible in your colour. Suddenly, the museum turns into a game. You stop scanning and start spotting. Red pulls you towards drama. Green drags you into landscapes and shadows. Same rooms, but completely different paintings. It’s wild how choosing one colour makes you see things you would’ve walked straight past. Which team are you? ❤️ or 💚 Turn your next gallery visit into a game. Find what’s on with ArtRabbit 🐰✨ #artexperience #londongallery #artrabbit #art #colourshuntingtrend

Seven fairs. Hundreds of gallery exhibition openings. Thousands of artists, curators, collectors, and art lovers moving across New York all at once. Our guide to New York Art Week 2026 is now live on ArtRabbit: from Frieze and Independent to NADA, Future Fair, 1-54, ESTHER III, and TEFAF. A few standout presentations we’re especially excited about: At @friezeofficial , @perrotin presents a solo booth by Genesis Belanger ahead of her upcoming Public Art Fund exhibition, while @karmakarma9 brings one of the strongest intergenerational presentations at the fair. @sargentsdaughters presents a solo booth by sculptor Yeni Mao.

"Self-Made: A Century of Inventing Artists" takes a critical look at the historical definition of the “self-taught artist” in the United States from the early twentieth century to today. This exhibition takes a critical look at the historical definition of the “self-taught artist” in the United States from the early twentieth century to today. The exhibition examines how artists without academic training have depicted, conceptualized, and identified themselves on their own terms. In doing so, it aims at challenging reductive, long-standing narratives that have cast these artmakers as amateurs or isolated geniuses working out of time, without lineage, influence, or artistic networks. Drawn primarily from the American Folk Art Museum’s collection, this selection of artworks brings together outstanding examples of paintings, sculptures, photographs, videos, and artists’ notebooks by key national and international figures, many of them recent or rarely seen acquisitions. 📅 10 Apr 2026 – 13 Sep 2026 📍 American Folk Art Museum, New York @afamuseum 🔗 /events/selfmade-a-century-of-inventing-artists 🖼️ Artworks of Bill Miller, Daldo Marte, Joe Coleman, Mark Hogancamp, Nicole Appel, Otis Houston Jr. & Susan Janow.

A lot happens before and during an event. We’ll take you behind the scenes of How We Built It: Community in the Arts, our evening at the British Council Malaysia bringing together artists, organisers, curators, placemakers, and cultural workers from across Kuala Lumpur. The hours before opening are usually controlled chaos: Testing microphones, reworking slides at the last minute, checking guest lists, rearranging chairs, trying to make sure everything somehow comes together on time, and wondering, in this specific case, if anyone will actually make it through Friday traffic and torrential rain. Then suddenly the room fills, conversations start, and the whole thing takes on a life of its own. Thank you again to our speakers: Rahel Joseph (@josephrahel ) of @ilhamgallerykl Hakym Hilmy (@kymioflario ) of @klsketchnation Nazura Rahime (@nazura_rahime ) of @jalannegarakita Kennedy Michael (@quadrafoliumrepens ) of @artrivercpr And thank you to the British Council Malaysia team, especially Florence, Khadijah, and Erica, for supporting and hosting the evening. We met so many thoughtful artists, organisers, placemakers, and community builders throughout the week, and we are looking forward to continuing these conversations. More from Kuala Lumpur soon. 📍 British Council Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 📷 How We Built It: Community in the Arts, ArtRabbit Event, May 2026, Kuala Lumpur. Photo by Ammar Rafiee.

Kuala Lumpur showed up, even in torrential rain, and on a Friday night. Here are some impressions from our “How We Built It” event, an evening of shared insight, honest conversation, and connection. Most of what we heard did not start with a plan. It started small, and grew through consistency, trust, and care. Thank you to everyone who joined us at @my_british , and to the speakers who shared how they are building and sustaining communities across the city. A special thank you to the British Council Malaysia team, especially Florence, Kadijah, and Erica, for their support in making this happen. And to our speakers: Rahel Joseph (@josephrahel ) of @ilhamgallerykl Hakym Hilmy (@kymioflario ) of @klsketchnation Nazura Rahime (@nazura_rahime ) of @jalannegarakita Kennedy Michael (@quadrafoliumrepens ) of @artrivercpr Thank you as well to everyone who came out. The weather and traffic were wild, and we know you had options, so it meant a lot that you chose to spend your time with us. Catering was by @pichaeats , which was excellent, and @knead.kl made a glorious cempedak butter cake. We will be sharing more from the week, including what we learned and what comes next. If you are part of a local organisation, get in touch. We would love to work together on what comes next. 📍 British Council Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur #ArtRabbit #BritishCouncil #placemaking #artcommunity #artactivations

We just hosted How We Built It: Community in the Arts at the British Council Malaysia, bringing together a room of people shaping how culture is built, shared, and sustained across the city. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to our speakers, @josephrahel of @ilhamgallerykl , Ahmad Hakym Bin Ahmad Hilmy (@kymioflario ) of @klsketchnation , @nazura_rahime of @jalannegarakita , and Kennedy Michael (@quadrafoliumrepens ) of The Alliance of River Three (@artrivercpr ), who spoke openly about what it actually takes to build and sustain communities over time. What came through across the evening was that this work rarely starts with a grand plan. It often begins with something small, curiosity, a need, a group of people choosing to show up. From there, it grows through consistency, trust, and care. Through listening to how people use space, building relationships with local partners, institutions, and communities, and finding ways to sustain something long after the initial energy has passed. We heard about placemaking as a long-term commitment, not a one-off intervention. About the time it takes to move from informal activity to recognised and supported infrastructure. About the role of art in reconnecting people to the city, to public space, and to each other. We also heard that sustainability is not just about funding or policy. It’s about culture, participation, and a shared sense of ownership, people choosing to care, contribute, and stay involved. Thank you to the British Council Malaysia team, especially Florence Lambert (Head of Arts and Creative Industries at @my_british ), Khadijah Aisha Turner, and Erica Choong, for their support in organising this event. Catering was by @pichaeats with @knead.kl , both excellent and highly recommended. Moderated by @vivikallinikou , @artrabbit . If you’re part of a local organisation, we would love to hear from you. We are looking for collaborations to build stronger connections across our art hubs. 📍 British Council Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur 📷 How We Built It: Community in the Arts, ArtRabbit Event, May 2026, Kuala Lumpur.

@rcashortcourses A Design Without: a @neville_brody masterclass A professional short course designed to help experienced practitioners challenge creative assumptions, take meaningful risks, and break free from habitual ways of working through a series of rapid, intensive briefs. Led by Professor Neville Brody, one of the most celebrated graphic designers of his generation. 🔗/study/programme-finder/design-without-a-neville-brody-masterclass/ 🖼️ Design by Brody Associates.

Yesterday we hosted our first art tour through downtown Kuala Lumpur, bringing together a small group to move through the city and experience it collectively. We began the day by the river with Kennedy Michael (@quadrafoliumrepens ) and the River Three project (@artrivercpr ). His work brings together environmental care, culture and community in a way that feels both grounded and long term. It was a powerful way to start the day and to understand the city through a different lens. From there, we visited @jalannegarakita with @nazura_rahime . What was once a neglected alley has become a place for gathering, conversation and creativity. We were welcomed with great generosity and care, and it set the tone for the rest of the day. The tour then moved through the historic centre of Kuala Lumpur. We started at @thezhongshanbuilding , continued past @elseretreats Kuala Lumpur, and made our way through the streets, taking in both formal spaces and quieter moments in between. At @plusnbyurmu , we spent time with Strategies of Dissent, an exhibition tracing protest art in Malaysia from the 1990s to today. The works offered a strong sense of how artists have responded to social and political realities over time, and it was a highlight for many of us. By the end of the day, the heat had definitely caught up with us, and just as we wrapped up, the skies opened with a full tropical downpour. It felt like a fitting close to a day that was intense, energising and shared. Thank you to everyone who joined us, and to all the spaces and people who welcomed us so generously. This tour is part of @artrabbit Southeast Asia Community Month, marking one year of building connections across Kuala Lumpur. We are here to keep learning, to keep connecting, and to continue shaping how people experience art in the city.
