Gallery tips for Lincoln

How the regulars do Lincoln's galleries:

• Check for late openings at The Usher Gallery. Some galleries open late one evening a week. After-work art is an underrated pleasure.
• Look at the building too at The Rickyard. Galleries often live in the most interesting architecture in town — converted warehouses, old banks, heritage houses.
• Don't rush the video work. Video installations need their full runtime. Sit down, give it the minutes it asks for.
• Kids are welcome (usually). Most galleries are fine with children; the contemporary ones especially. Call ahead if you're unsure.
