The Arts in Space was the second story of the Doctor Who: The Tenth Doctor comic strip series published in 2014.
Summary
In exchange for the invaluable assistance she offered defending New York – and to say sorry for dropping into her life like a tornado! – the Doctor has promised Gabby one trip – just one trip! – in the TARDIS.
With the whole universe laid before her, all of time and space, where will Gabriella Gonzalez choose to go? What will they find when they get there… and can one trip in the TARDIS ever be enough?
More importantly, the Doctor has been hurt by the fate of his companions before – and recently! With Donna still fresh in his mind, can Gabby convince him that he shouldn’t travel alone, for just a little while longer?

- The infinite stairwell is reminiscent of M. C. Escher's 1953 lithograph Relativity.

Continuity
- The Tenth Doctor previously offered Martha Jones "just one trip" in the TARDIS. (TV: Smith and Jones).
- The Doctor asks Gabby if she wants to travel to the past, present or future; she chooses future. The Ninth Doctor asked a similar question to Rose and received the same answer. (TV: The End of the World)
- The Doctor states he is "over nine hundred years" old. (See The Doctor's age)
- Gabby keeps a journal of her travels with the Doctor. In her journal, she draws a number of aliens: a Quark, Handbot, Ice Warrior, Kamelion, Alpha Centauri and a White Robot.
- Gabby jokes that the TARDIS' initials stands for "Threshold and Ridiculous Domain of Insanity and Supercool". It actually stands for Time and Relative Dimension in Space.
- The Doctor mentions that rules in travelling to the future only apply to fixed points in time. This reflects his more cavalier attitude to intervention during Series 4. (TV: The Fires of Pompeii, TV: The Waters of Mars)
- The Doctor mentions they could visit the Louvre III on Paris IV. He visited the original Louvre in Paris with Romana in his fourth incarnation. (TV: City of Death) A painting in Zhe's gallery shows the Fourth Doctor and Romana II visiting the gallery; the Doctor says to Gabby some of the people in the paintings could still be alive.
- A space elevator also appeared in AUDIO: The Great Space Elevator.
- The Doctor says "I'm no critic--they all wear bow ties." Ironically, his eleventh incarnation would.
- Gabby has a vision of an Ood singing (TV: The End of Time) and herself singing a pop song. (COMIC: Revolutions of Terror)
