Coronation Group, a leading financial services conglomerate, recently hosted an extraordinary celebration of African creativity and cultural heritage at the Coronation Art Gallery Exhibition, where it showcased an impressive collection of works curated from the private collections of 13 distinguished female art collectors.
The exhibition is part of Coronation’s ongoing mission to foster gender inclusivity and cultural appreciation, while showcasing the convergence of art, wealth, and sustainability.The groundbreaking exhibition was graced by the Minister of Finance and Coordinating Minister of the Economy, Mr. Wale Edun, whose presence underscored the critical role that art plays not only in cultural preservation but also as a multidimensional asset class with the potential to drive wealth creation and socio-economic development.
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.

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.
