Art & Culture
With the Newlyn, Lamorna and St Ives Schools, Cornwall has long since established itself at the vanguard of British art, and the legacies of giants such as Stanhope Forbes, Alfred Wallace and Ben Nicholson are still strong today.
For serious collectors, connoisseurs, and the curious alike, there are plenty of museums and galleries to fill your days. The Tate St Ives, Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, Penlee House, and Newlyn Exchange showcase local and modern artists and host regular exhibitions. It is also worthwhile milling around the numerous smaller independent galleries in the area (indeed just about every village has a selection of diverse art on display).
If you fancy a go yourself, St Ives and Callington School of Art and Camborne College offer day long art classes and drop in courses.
The open air Minack theatre carved high into the cliffs at Porthcurno above the ocean provides a stunning setting to outdoor performances, especially at sunset or in starlight (do book ahead!). Penzance’s Acorn Theatre offers regular performances and productions in theatre, music, and dance, as does St Ives Arts Club and Truro’s Hall for Cornwall. Look out for various artists and events at The Eden Project too
