Mighty But Muted, NFT Crowd Attempts Recovery After Crypto Crash
There were thousands of bullseyes on the Tyler Hobbs paintings and another hundred on the artist’s back. But if the packed celebration on Thursday night for his latest exhibition was any indication, he may outlast the flagging NFT industry and its notorious association with the many crypto hucksters now facing bankruptcies and arrest.

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.
