Art Galleries & Shops in Cornwall

Cornwall has inspired artists for generations—big skies, shifting seas and a special quality of light. Our art galleries & shops in Cornwall highlight places where you can see (and take home) the work of local painters, printmakers, ceramicists, sculptors and glass artists.

What you’ll find

• Original paintings & drawings from coastal scenes to abstract colour studies

• Limited‑edition prints—screen prints, linocuts and giclée

• Ceramics & sculpture with textures drawn from sea and moor

• Glass, jewellery and craft made by Cornish makers

• Framing & commissions at select galleries

Buying art, simply

• Set a budget and ask about interest‑free schemes or staged payments.

• Check edition numbers, artist signatures and certificates for prints.

• Ask about framing that suits coastal light and prevents fading.

• Travelling? Many galleries offer UK shipping and careful packing; some ship internationally.

Make a gallery trail

Combine galleries in St Ives and Penzance with Falmouth & Penryn’s creative quarter, add Truro for framing and Newquay/Wadebridge/Bude for emerging artists. Time your visit for private views or open‑studio events—friendly ways to meet makers.
