The Newlyn Art Gallery shop has temporarily relocated
and opened on Causewayhead in Penzance, while a major £3m
refurbishment scheme takes place back at the gallery in Newlyn and
The Exchange in Penzance over the forthcoming year. Selling a selection
of contemporary, artist-made, original, hand-crafted gifts, the
shop has opened for Christmas.
A range of gifts by some of Cornwall's top makers and artists are
available including art by Kurt Jackson, Jessica Cooper and Bryan
Pearce; jewellery by Pip Macfarlane and Michael Peckitt; ceramics
by Darrel Sherlock and Sarah Dunstan and a whole range of further
quality crafts, art books etc.
To celebrate the opening, The Gallery Shop is inviting everyone
to the open evening this evening from 5-9pm.
The shop will also become the focal point for information on the
development of the projects taking place on the two sites at Newlyn
and the Exchange.
Earlier this year Newlyn Art Gallery obtained £3million in
funding to refurbish the historic building, adding an extension,
improving the entrance area and redesigning the garden space.
The other half of the project is the creation of a new gallery
space and education facility, plus a gallery shop and caf?? on the
ground floor of the old Telephone Exchange in Penzance.
Funding for the project has been obtained from Capital funding
schemes, but the gallery gives a special thank you to Penwith Council
for their support.
