This rates with London galleries for its selection of artists and the quality of the crafts displayed. One of the best in the town.

A small but quality art space, tucked away, but do find it....a stone's throw from St Ia's Church....some superb pottery and art work.

We popped in and had a look round. Some of the pictures were quite good but not many were to our taste. There was an artists there but he ignored us - looking at other reviews it seems better if they talk to you and make you more welcome so maybe we went on a good day. Prices seemed reasonable... More

We only popped in because it began to rain but were so glad we did. It's nice to see artwork displayed like this...I even bought a painting.

We visited the various galleries around St Ives and found this to be OK but nothing worth purchasing in it. Now that the original gent in charge has retired it seems various artists are visiting in 'stints'. The one there over half term was friendly but the art was not anything I'd buy.

As well as housing some of the most interesting and prestigious modern art to be seen in St. Ives this gallery is worth visiting to meet the wonderful Henry Gilbert. He is a very kind and gentle man who shows a genuine interest in all who visit his gallery, irrespective of whether they are there to purchase or browse. I... More

I have bought two pictures from this galley and am very happy with them. Looking at them each day cheers me up. The owner of this gallery (Mr Henry Gilbert) is one of the town's experts on twentieth-century art. He can tell you about the artists who flocked to St Ives over the years but he also stocks very recent... More
