There are two approaches to spending your time in Gainesville:
You can complain that “there’s nothing to do” and drown your sorrows in a 3-4-1 Long Island at Midtown every night, or you can embrace your precious time here in Hogtown and go explore.
Every week Culture Shock provides you with a few of the best happenings in the city that don’t involve blacking out, Study Edge or Netflix binging.
Gainesville, it’s time to culture yourself.
MUSIC + NIGHTLIFE
Afro Man
Where: The Wooly
When: Tuesday, April 5 at 7 p.m.
Why: We know you know all the words to Colt 45. It’s almost impossible to not sing along when it starts playing. Chant the words with the rest of the crowd at Afro Man’s concert on Tuesday night.
ARTS + ENTERTAINMENT
Always Already Here Vol. 2
Where: Gallery Protocol
When: March 18 – May 16
Why: This exhibition explores the trend of artists reaching across different mediums to express their thoughts in surprising ways.
