Newlyn Art Gallery exists because of a long history of art making in West Cornwall and has celebrated contemporary art and supported the artists that produce it for more than 125 years. In 2007 the gallery reopened after a period of renovation with the addition of a new pavilion and continues to present work in all media by contemporary regional, national and international artists, with a programme of events, activities and learning. For more than 125 years, Newlyn Art Gallery has been bringing the best in contemporary art to audiences in the South West. In 2007 the gallery was redeveloped and we opened a second venue, The Exchange in Penzance. With two venues we are able to offer an internationally recognised contemporary art programme in the far west of the UK. In recent years we have also staged major installations in non-gallery sites, including Lahore-based artist Imran Qureshi at Truro Cathedral and Canadian artist Janet Cardiff at Richmond Chapel, as part of Groundwork.
