Exhibition open: 26 October, 2025 - 31 January, 2026

Framed shines a light on contemporary creativity in its many forms, with over 150 local artists represented.

We’re shining a light on contemporary creativity in its many forms, and any artist working in Cornwall was invited to submit work. 

We received a record number of submissions this year covering many art forms including drawing, painting, photography, textiles, sculpture, ceramics and digital work.

An independent selection panel chose 150 works to display in the museum, and others will be made available digitally as part of the exhibition.

The exhibition includes evocative portraits, impressive landscapes, and skilfully executed still lives in pencil, pen, chalk, watercolours and oils. It also features stunning photography and imaginative mixed media work.

Meanwhile, 3D work includes detailed sculptures in clay, metal and found materials, and beautiful decorative and functional ceramics. Printmaking is well represented with engravings, woodcuts, monotypes, and botanical prints, and the mediums of textiles and stained glass are also represented.
