'Images of Downlong - 1880s-to the present day'
We are pleased to share an exclusive talk and Q&A with Janet Axten and a panel of local artists, including Hilary Jean Gibson, artist tutor at St Ives School of Painting, as they discuss why comparatively few artists have chosen to paint Downlong, one of the most historic parts of St Ives.
‘Images of Downlong – 1880s-to the present day’
We are always proud to share stories of our rich history, which officially dates back to 1938 when our founders Borlase Smart & Leonard Fuller opened the doors.
The School as it is today has experienced changes, but remains in its same location, Back Road West (pictured) in an area of St Ives, called Downlong.
Join this insightful talk as local historian, Janet Axton ventures back in time, accompanied by special guests.
