2026 Exhibition - 'Making Waves'
Following on from our three previous exhibitions telling the story of the evolution of the St Ives Art Colony, for 2026 we will be featuring over 40 works from the period 1930 to 1960. This period witnessed the heyday of the St Ives Society of Artists founded in 1927 and our exhibition focuses on St Ives resident artists from the period.
