A new, free exhibition inspired by Cornwall’s new archive centre, Kresen Kernow, is being opened.

The centre is being built on the former Redruth Brewery site. 

‘Creating Kresen Kernow’ is at the Cornish Studies Library in Alma Place, Redruth and features a range of art work by both professional and amateur local artists.

Items on display include a range of pen and ink drawings of the building site by Sue Lewington, as well as paintings, photographs and collage by other local artists. A range of pieces inspired by the Service’s series of ArTchive workshops are also on display. These include imaginary maps, hand-made books, and samplers inspired by 19th century posters.

The exhibition is on until October 6.
