Still looking for that perfect last-minute gift for the art lovers in your life? Whether it’s a friend, significant other or yourself, most of these art-related gifts don’t require postage and support arts organisations or creators to help culture thrive in 2021.

Make your daily allotment of outdoor exercise during lockdown more interesting with art installed in public spaces. Splashed on street corners, situated in parks, or else taking up space in front of civic buildings, you don’t have to wait until December to see these artworks.

Over the past few days, the escalating events in the US have given us pause on what we can do to elevate the right voices in this critical time. We recognise that part of our community is hurting and it’s not okay to be silent. Black Lives Matter. Black Voices Matter. We stand in solidarity with everyone fighting for a better world and in defiance of racism.

Art and culture are brilliant for both restoring a bit of normalcy to your day-to-day as well as providing commentary on this new collective experience of mass quarantining. Each week, we’ll be updating our Art from Home guide with the best art you can experience from home, provided by organisations from around the world.

Museums, galleries and cultural organisations have been ramping up their virtual experiences in the past few weeks in response to temporary closures of physical locations. We’ve picked our favourites from this growing list so that no matter how you're feeling, you can feel it while experiencing some culture.

Nothing beats the immediacy of seeing art in person, curated with care to convey an experience within a shared space. We at ArtRabbit will always favour real-life experiences, but as we collectively practice social distancing in an effort to quell the spread of COVID-19, we looked for some boredom-banishing alternatives to attending art exhibitions and events IRL.

How do Masculinities manifest in contemporary culture? This exhibition at the Art Gallery in the Barbican Centre attempts to answer questions about sexuality and gender with an in-depth look at various iterations of masculinity as seen through photography and film. Join us on this video tour of the show to get a sneak peek of what this exhibition is all about.

We ventured out into the bitter cold to experience Meet Vincent Van Gogh and encounter Picasso and Paper at the Royal Academy. Although both exhibitions centred on European male artists and their contributions to modern art, the two experiences couldn't have been more different.
