Falmouth Art Gallery Shines: Imagine Falmouth Exhibition Opens with Over 100 Artists

Last Friday evening, Falmouth Art Gallery kicked off its highly anticipated Imagine Falmouth exhibition with an exclusive preview event, attended by over 100 artists and their guests. The bi-annual exhibition, which celebrates Cornwall-based artists of all ages, has quickly become a standout event on the region’s art calendar.

Over 400 Entries Submitted

This year, the open exhibition attracted more than 400 submissions, showcasing a diverse range of talent from the Cornish community. An independent panel, made up of local artists and arts professionals, carefully selected 150 pieces to be displayed at the gallery.
