125 YEARS YOUNG

Newlyn Art Gallery marks its landmark birthday with a unique exhibition of work from the Arts Council curated by a local school art collective

Newlyn Art Gallery has teamed up with the Arts Council to brighten up our winter with an incredible smorgasboard of artworks by emerging post-war UK artists. If I tell you the exhibition cherry picks from the Arts Council Collection of ore than 8,000 works spanning 70 years and almost as many fine art mediums, you’ll probably find yourself popping into this favourite gallery more than once during this ten week exhibition that opened on 14 February.

The Arts Council Collection includes paintings, sculpture, original works on paper, prints and moving image. The collection supports artists in the UK through the purchase and display of their work, and safeguards it for future generations, using the highest possible standards of collection care. The collection also lends to numerous public buildings across the UK, including schools, universities, hospitals and charitable associations.
