Joya Mukerjee Logue harnesses identity and belonging at Vadehra Art Gallery
Artist Joya Mukerjee Logue grew up in the American midwest, though her life in Ohio was punctuated by occasional visits to an ancestral home in a busy marketplace in the city of Ambala, Haryana, in northern India. Her forefathers migrated from Behala in what is now suburban Kolkata to Ambala nearly two centuries ago, in 1845, to help build a cantonment town for India’s colonial rulers. Generations of grandparents and great-aunts continued to make the rambling house a home for Mukerjee Logue on occasional summer visits. In those who walk before me, a solo exhibition at Vadehra Art Gallery in New Delhi, she works between memory and imagination to record her impressions of home, family and the city in a series of oil and watercolour paintings.
Children and young people will have an opportunity to see their creations displayed digitally in an exhibition at one of Scotland’s national galleries.
The 2025 Worcester 100 Open Art Exhibition will be held at the Artery Gallery, Croft Walk, from Saturday 8 to Saturday, March 15.
The free event will showcase a range of artistic styles, including paintings, prints, photography, and sculptures.
Opening times will vary throughout the week.

Three in five small UK museums and galleries fear closure amid declining revenue, new research suggests
Three in five small museums and galleries in the UK fear closure amid declining revenue and footfall, research published this week suggests. The survey of 40 small, independent attractions—those with fewer than 100,000 annual visitors—also found that four in five (78%) reported the current period as the most challenging the sector has faced, while over half (58%) said overall income has not returned to its pre-Covid levels.
The research, conducted by the cloud platform GoDaddy in partnership with the charity Kids in Museums, surveyed small museums as well as galleries, historic buildings and heritage sites. Alison Bowyers, the executive director of Kids in Museums, tells The Art Newspaper that UK museums are suffering more than their counterparts in mainland Europe.
