Tate St Ives reopens
Celebrate the reopening of Tate St Ives with a sojourn at the seaside this spring
Tate St Ives reopens on 31 March
The quaint fishing harbour of St Ives in West Cornwall is well-known for its thriving artistic scene and now the town’s creative credentials are set to soar with the reopening of its iconic art gallery by the sea.
Tate St Ives, which overlooks pretty Porthmeor Beach and has been closed since October 2015, reopens with The Studio and the Sea (31 March-3 September 2017). There will be two exhibitions about the ceramics studio, the ocean and the landscape through specially-commissioned work, films, sculptures and large-scale paintings (open daily 10am -5.20pm; tickets cost £7.50 pp/free for Tate members).
Why not book an arty escape and brush up on your painting skills at the St Ives School of Painting, watch performing arts, live music and theatre at the St. Ives Arts Club or discover the former home and sculpture garden of artist Barbara Hepworth?
