Hello, 2020! UK art events for your culture diary

02 Jan 2020

By Sandy Di Yu

It's great to see you here in 2020, sharing in the excitement and anxieties of the year to come. Global politics might induce more of the latter (Brexit and the US presidential elections are in the forecast as if it’s 2016 again), but the art and culture of the UK will breathe life into your diaries with all that it has to offer this year.

We did it, UK! We made it to the new decade despite the abysmal election results of last year, the accelerating change in climate, the overall feeling of impending doom… In any case, it's great to see you here in 2020, sharing in the excitement and anxieties of the year to come. Global politics might induce more of the latter (Brexit and the US presidential elections are in the forecast as if it’s 2016 again), but the art and culture of the UK will breathe life into your diaries with all that it has to offer this year.

Whether a contemplative refuge away from the chaotic world at large or a poignant critique of the circumstances that hold the nation hostage, take note of these upcoming events and start the decade off with a good sampling of culture.
