29th March – 21st April 2025
The NSA has invited Dr Matt Retallick to curate their spring show this year. Dr Retallick lives in London. His close connection to Cornwall, where he grew up, is reflected in his research into the art history of Cornwall and underlies the theme he has posed for NSA members to explore in this exhibition:
Longya is the Cornish word for ‘belong’. Cornwall is a place of strong and unique identity. Whether born of its soil, naturalised to call it home, or deeply connected to the area from elsewhere, the parameters of attachment are under constant debate. What is it to be an artist working in Cornwall today, or one whose work is inspired by the region? This exhibition explores the nuanced affinities that connect artists with this uncommon place.
The exhibition will be launched with an opening evening on Saturday 29th March, 2 – 4.30pm. There will also be a number of artist talks on Sunday 13th April, 2 – 3.30pm. Everyone is welcome to attend events, no charge and no need to RSVP.
For the duration of the exhibition, Tremenheere Gallery will be open Tuesday – Sunday, 11am – 4.30pm. Closed Mondays, aside from Monday 21st April (Easter Monday). FREE entry. Many of the works exhibited are for sale.
