Newlyn Art Gallery

  • 8 views

The Newlyn Art Gallery offers a wide and varied exhibition programme across our two sites, and beyond, presenting contemporary work in all media, and actively supports the creativity and wellbeing of our wider community.

Newlyn Art Gallery opened in 1895 as a result of the support of the Le Grice family, who gifted the land, and the philanthropist John Passmore Edwards. After presenting contemporary art here for more than 110 years, in 2007 we redeveloped the existing Newlyn site and acquired Penzance’s former telephone exchange close to the town centre. This enabled us to expand our programme ambitions, providing new space to better reflect the diversity of current artists’ practice in Cornwall, the UK and internationally.

About The Local Art Scene

This website was created as a way of finding and supporting artists in towns and cities across the UK.

The site was launched in 2015 by a Hampshire artist, Trevor Hart who saw the need for a national directory where artists, galleries, clubs and suppliers could present themselves in an easily accessible environment, outside of conventional social media platforms.

Not all your customers are on social media! Our pages are ranked high on the search engines, enabling our listings to be found more easily through conventional searches, and in most cases our pages are listed in the top 10 of Google and MSN for individual artists and suppliers.

Boost your exposure! A listing here can help boost your existing website traffic or provide a cheaper solution to creating and maintaining your own website.
