Artmajeur Launches New Services to Propel Art Galleries Into the Digital Age
Artmajeur, the leading online art platform, today announced the launch of new services designed to help art galleries embrace the digital and “phygital” future, catalyzed by the recent global shifts in the art sector. Samuel Charmetant, founder of Artmajeur, emphasizes the essential role of digital presence, declaring it a necessity in the evolving art market landscape.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the art world experienced a swift transformation, with physical galleries closing and online interactions gaining unprecedented importance. As global network of +1,000 art galleries and +100,000 contemporary artists, presenting +3 millions original artworks, Artmajeur has been continuously witnessing this transformation. Artmajeur’s innovative solutions have been pivotal in this shift, allowing galleries to maintain connections with global audiences, collectors, and artists alike.
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.
