Overview
No students want to spend a fiver on the Student Art Pass during Covid when they can't go to any of the museums or galleries included. So we recreate these art galleries, museums, castles and gardens in Animal Crossing, so that the art community can still meet and appreciate our collections from anywhere, at any time, even during a pandemic.
​
The Student Art Passport
Animal Crossing players' existing in-game passports can be combined with our Art Passes to create personalised limited edition cards.
Students will be able to order their Art Passport from the Nintendo eShop as well as on the Student Art Pass website.
Museum Islands
The exclusive islands will be virtual versions of museums & galleries usually accessible to those with Art Passes. They will be open from September -December, whilst the real versions are closed. Rather than just looking at photographs of artworks online, they are able to explore the locations and atmospheres of the islands in an interactive way, alone or with friends.
Exclusive Items- DIYs & Design Codes
Those with passports to the museum islands will be able to find exclusive DIYs as well as outfit codes inspired by real works of art that users can take home to their own islands. These will become sought after items in the Animal Crossing fandom due to the mystery and exclusivity that surround them.
Student Events
Tom Nook will announce student events to all users once a week throughout September to December, creating hype and intrigue around the mysterious, exclusive islands.
These events will be advertised by university pages as well, encouraging people to meet like-minded artsy folk that they might not have met so easily otherwise, not just in their own uni but across the UK.
