The Fantastic Art Scene

Every Picture Tells a Sory

London has a fantastic art scene. Londoners and all visitors are incredibly lucky to have such an artistic city that believes exhibitions should be free for all. That widespread recognition is important to both the artists and to the genetics makeup of London itself.

London is where artists thrive. Where they can find their stage. For a spectator, it means you can visit the greatest works of modern time, of times past, of the masters, of the newcomers. It means you can experience all forms of it and be connected to it. In other cities, like Toronto for example, artists are sealed behind sealed doors where the public are welcome to come in, but at extortionate fees.

I’ve waited in queues to see art installations. I’ve witnessed first hand the power that word of mouth can have on an exhibition. This is the opinion of someone who has only interacted with the art scene through these exhibitions, who can’t commit more than a visit. I would be heartbroken if London wasn’t filled with as much talent as it was. If it didn’t dress up in said talent from time to time.

The fact that the city hosts artists and their work for its citizens and visitors is my favourite part of the city. Festivals, from the design festival in autumn that decked out Covent Garden with clouds of white balloons to the Lights festival in the darkest month of winter, so that Londoners have something to look forward to in such a dreary month – all of these efforts are what make London so special – and there’s always more to look forward to.
