Cornish Masters is a distinguished art gallery nestled in a striking granite colonnaded building on St Ives High Street. It showcases masterpieces from Cornwall’s Newlyn and St Ives schools — from plein-air realism to bold modernist abstraction — within an elegant, historic setting.
Cornish Masters gallery occupies the former Midland Bank, a beautiful granite-colonnaded structure located on St Ives High Street, just steps from the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Gardens. Opened in October 2023, the gallery offers an exceptional space—with soaring ceilings and refined architectural character—for showcasing the finest of Cornish art. Its collections span the Newlyn School of the 1880s, the Impressionists, and the vibrant mid-century St Ives Modernists, featuring works by artists such as Stanhope Forbes, Walter Langley, Peter Lanyon, and Terry Frost. This gallery provides a thoughtful, immersive encounter with Cornwall’s pivotal art movements in a thoughtfully restored heritage setting.
