Newlyn Art Gallery is a vibrant contemporary art space located in the fishing port of Newlyn. It focuses on modern and historical art from Cornwall, with a particular emphasis on the Newlyn School of painters who settled here in the late 19th century. The gallery presents rotating exhibitions of contemporary artists, often with a social or environmental theme, alongside works by renowned Cornish artists like Stanhope Forbes and Laura Knight. Visitors can explore two gallery spaces, a shop, and a café, all housed in a beautifully converted Victorian building.
