Newlyn Art Gallery is dedicated to presenting varied and inspiring exhibitions of regional, national and international contemporary art in all media, with related talks and events.

Newlyn Art Gallery was established in 1895 for the exhibition of work from the Newlyn School Artists. Today the Newlyn Society of Artists, which grew out of the Newlyn School, continues to show three times each year, profiling the quality and rich variety of work made locally. Its collection of early Newlyn School paintings are held and exhibited at Penlee House Gallery and Museum, Penzance.

The Gallery reopened in July 2007 after extensive refurbishment, with a new education room providing a programme of access and learning reaching out into the community. The glass pavilion on the seaward side of the gallery will also house a specialist bookshop and cafe area, with additional seating in the secluded gallery garden.

Also in July 2007 launched a major new art venue, The Exchange, in the centre of Penzance.This is a major new contemporary art venue in the centre of Penzance. Like Newlyn Art Gallery it presents exhibitions and events by leading regional, national and international artists in all media. Behind a dramatic undulating glass facade, The Exchange contains a stunning exhibition space, double the size of Newlyn's. Alongside art books, the Gallery Shop presents leading contemporary art, craft and design. There will also be a bright, vibrant cafe and a dedicated education workshop and resource room with an extensive programme of access and learning.

Admission is free. For opening times and further information please contact the gallery.

Porthmeor Beach St Ives Tel: 01736 796226

Tate St Ives presents modern and contemporary art, often created in or associated with Cornwall. Its location in St Ives, with dramatic views across the town and harbour to the east and Porthmeor Beach to the north, provides a unique opportunity to view work in the surroundings in which, in many cases, it was actually created.

Since the late nineteenth century two 'schools' of art have grown up in west Cornwall, at Newlyn and St Ives. Before Tate St Ives opened in 1993, there had been no public gallery dedicated to the distinctive modern art of St Ives. Tate St Ives presents twentieth-century art in the context of Cornwall. At the heart of the programme of displays and activities is a body of work for which the town of St Ives is internationally known - the modernist art produced by artists associated with the town and its surrounding area from the 1920s onwards. The gallery also presents work by contemporary artists, often responding to the gallery's displays or to the broader Cornish scene. The Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden opened in 1976 and is part of Tate St Ives.

The displays at Tate St Ives change regularly, allowing a different selection from Tate's extensive collection of St Ives art to be shown each year. In addition, temporary exhibitions focus on a particular artist or theme. Through it's the Tate St Ives Artist Residency and programme of artists' projects, the Gallery encourages and enables the creation of new work relating to the local environment. Tate continues to acquire work for its collections, and remains committed to showing works associated with Cornwall in both London and Liverpool as well as in St Ives. Moreover, the links between the arts and artists of west Cornwall and other centres around the world mean that Tate St Ives also displays related works by non-Cornish artists.

Opening Times
March – October Daily 10.00–17.20, last admission 17.00 November – February Tuesday – Sunday 10.00–16.20, last admission 16.00

Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden
Barnoon Hill St Ives. Tel: 01736 796226

Visiting the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden is a unique experience, offering a remarkable insight into the work and outlook of one of Britain's most important twentieth century artists. Sculptures in bronze, stone and wood are on display in the Museum and Garden, along with paintings, drawings and archive material.

Barbara Hepworth first came to live in Cornwall with her husband Ben Nicholson and their young family at the outbreak of war in 1939. She lived and worked in Trewyn studios, now the Hepworth Museum, from 1949 until her death in 1975. Following her wish to establish her home and studio as a museum of her work, Trewyn Studio and much of the artist's work remaining there was given to the nation and placed in the care of the Tate Gallery in 1980.

'Finding Trewyn Studio was a sort of magic', wrote Barbara Hepworth; 'here was a studio, a yard and garden where I could work in open air and space'. When she first arrived at Trewyn Studio, Hepworth was still largely preoccupied with stone and wood carving, but during the 1950s she increasingly made sculpture in bronze as well. This led her to create works on a more monumental scale, for which she used the garden as a viewing area. The bronzes now in the garden are seen in the environment for which they were created, and most are in the positions in which the artist herself placed them. The garden itself was laid out by Barbara Hepworth with help from a friend, the composer Priaulx Rainier.

Opening Times

The Leach Pottery
The Leach Pottery in St Ives was established by Bernard Leach in 1920. One of the great figures of 20th century art, Leach played a crucial pioneering role in creating an identity for artist potters in Britain and around the world. In March 2008 a major capital project comes to completion. The working pottery is restored to full operation, with training facilities reflecting the original Leach ethos, now under the guidance of Lead Potter, Jack Doherty. A new museum has been created on site to celebrate the life, work, influences and legacy of Bernard Leach. Exhibition, gallery and shop spaces provide regular shows throughout the year featuring work by leading regional, national and international studio potters.
