Britain's art world extends well beyond London, and that's part of what makes it interesting. The regional institutions aren't outposts: Tate St Ives, the Hepworth Wakefield, the Baltic in Gateshead, and the Whitworth in Manchester run ambitious, independently minded programmes. Turner Contemporary in Margate has helped put the Kent coast on the map, a town with a long connection to J.M.W. Turner.
