Tate Gallery St Ives online: information and bookings

Tate St Ives is undoubtedly Cornwall's best known gallery, situated in a glorious location overlooking Porthmeor Beach.

The Tate not only shows the best of C20 art in the areas and atmosphere in which it was created, but also has changing exhibitions of the best of contemporary Cornish art.

Since the Tate's opening in 1993 many more galleries have sprung up around St Ives, supporting its long artistic tradition. The first artists began arriving in the nineteenth century - the original attraction of pure light and unspoiled charm still holding true today.

Every September the town's artistic and musical heritage are celebrated in the St Ives Festival of Music and the Arts. Many artists open their studios to the public, and other creative events take place in these two weeks, the middle two weeks of September.
