new format of cultural publication that includes a website and a print version. We specialise in visual art, literature, music and film; we publish texts by journalists, writers and contemporary art researchers from the UK. We don't chase novelties for their own sake, but select the best contemporary art in line with art history; we talk to interesting, experimental and famous creators; but above all we talk and write about the human emotions which this art evokes. Arts & Culture UK gives you the chance to find a new book to read; get acquainted with the masterpieces of world cinema, or discover a film for the whole family at the weekend; read stories and novels by great writers that have not yet appeared in the bookshops, or lectures by the best linguists; find the hottest London events each month and learn how writers advise you to compile a home library. We aim to bring you a truthful and engaging story, rather than a mere review. What matters to us is how you feel when you engage with the art that we recommend. Ours is a world where you can take a break from the hustle and bustle of everyday life and be at peace in a space of art.
