- Overview
- More Info
Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange is an ambitious and progressive organisation that challenges conventions and champions the benefits of arts programming through collaborative and participatory projects.
We are committed to researching and developing new work, and supporting the creative development of artists. A year-round learning programme takes inspiration from the exhibitions, and is particularly focussed on creating opportunities for people to engage with the exhibition programming. Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange is a resource for all the community, and we aim to offer a space and platform for social exchange.
Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange is an educational arts charity, an Arts Council England National Portfolio organisation and a Cornwall Council Strategic Arts Client.
