As featured on BBC TV, and voted winner of 'The Best Art Gallery in Cornwall' Award by readers of Cornwall Today magazine, we are one of the largest private commercial art galleries in St Ives, with an excellent reputation for our expertly curated shows of quality original art.
Our bright and inviting main gallery at 22 Fore Street is near to the Barbara Hepworth Museum and Sculpture Garden, and just a few minutes’ walk to the town's bus/rail stations, and car parks.
Founded in 1999 by gallery directors David Durham and Dee Bray, the Porthminster Gallery specialises in Modern St Ives and British Art, showcasing paintings, prints, sculpture, and ceramics by established and up-and-coming artists. The gallery relocated to its current premises in September 2020, after ten years based at Westcott's Quay in St Ives.
As the only gallery in the town to specialise in highly-collectable artworks by major Post War Modern St Ives and British Artists, we hold a large and changing stock of works.
