the world of arts and letters.

A growing directory full of inspiration for your offline life

Did you ever notice how time magically appears once you go offline? To help you use this newly found time to bring your passions to life or to find new ones, we are building a directory celebrating the 9 pillars of arts & letters. It contains suggestions for things to read, see and do; ideas for artists and writers to get to know; inspiration for products to try, and for places to go see. From poetry to public art and from theatre to typewriters, use this directory to uncover new ways to make your offline life flourish.

Explore the directory by tag, theme or location.

Toggle as many tags and themes as you like. Filter by location, choosing one country at a time and multiple places within each country. After making your selection, click ‘Start your discovery’. Or you can click 'View All' on the bottom of the page to see the complete directory. We are only just getting started and are adding new directory entries on an ongoing basis.
