Occupying a unique Gerogian building in the town's only pedestrian street, the Gallery offers one of the largest Exhibition spaces in the county. Over two floors, the clean lines and simple layout provide a fresh, bright space in which to appreciate the work of Cornwall's leading and talented emerging artists. The promise of quality and a friendly welcome awaits you!
In addition to the various exhibitions in The Mariners & Crypt Galleries there will be workshops and special events throughout the year. Please see our website for details
A curator of exhibitions in Britain and abroad for 40 years, Gilly Wyatt Smith moved Yew Tree Gallery to Cornwall in 2001. Exhibitions often explore our connection with the natural world and the fragile balance between mankind and nature. Lively & often humorous work by renowned artists across the disciplines is shown in the 2-roomed gallery and sculpture gardens.
Within the gallery you'll find works from many of the leading St Ives and Newlyn School artists, as well as many other distinguished artists who have painted in the county. Our inventory consists mainly of traditional works with a strong emphasis on Cornish subjects.
