Newlyn Art Gallery & The Exchange offers a wide and varied exhibition programme across our two sites, and beyond, presenting contemporary work in all media, and actively supports the creativity and wellbeing of our wider community. With over 110 years of experience, we have a rich history of showcasing local and international artists. Our exhibitions and events programme includes painting, photography, sculpture, film, and multi-channel video installations, as well as educational workshops and activities for all ages.
The gallery has been praised for its beautiful paintings and artifacts, cute gallery space, and thought-provoking exhibitions, as well as its friendly and helpful staff.
The gallery has been criticized for its small size, lack of artistic merit, and environmental protest exhibitions, which did not meet the expectations of some reviewers.
