NYUAD Art Gallery celebrates 10th anniversary, launching 5-year survey of creative practice in the GCC
Alandmark exhibition that delves into the evolving artistic landscape of the GCC is set to open at the NYU Abu Dhabi (NYUAD) Art Gallery on October 1. Between the Tides: A Gulf Quinquennial features 21 artists and collectives from across the region, including the UAE, Oman, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia. Set to recur every five years (a “quinquennial”), it captures key moments in the GCC’s arts scene since 2019, showcasing works across the fields of visual arts, architecture, and design, featuring painting, video, installation, and sculpture that reflect the region’s unique cultural and environmental landscapes.
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.
