Elaine Foster-Gandey Art is delighted to present its Summer Exhibition 2026, a vibrant curated exhibition bringing together a dynamic mix of contemporary artists and makers from Cornwall and beyond.

Opening with a Private View on Friday 17th July, 5–8pm, the exhibition will feature an exciting collection of painting, print, ceramics, sculpture, jewellery, textiles, and clothing, showcasing a diverse range of creative practices across the gallery and garden spaces.

Visitors to the Private View will have the opportunity to meet participating artists, enjoy informal artist talks, and be among the first to view — and purchase — original artworks and handcrafted pieces from the exhibition.

Running daily from 17th July to 17th August, 10am–5pm, the exhibition continues Elaine Foster-Gandey Art’s growing programme of curated shows that celebrate contemporary creativity, craftsmanship, and artistic community.

Based in the heart of Lostwithiel, the gallery has quickly gained recognition as an exciting new cultural space within Cornwall’s arts scene, receiving support and coverage from BBC Cornwall, Cornwall Live, Visit Cornwall, and Cornwall 365.

Elaine Foster-Gandey, an international exhibiting artist whose work has been shown at the Venice Biennale 2024, curates each exhibition with a focus on creating engaging, high-quality shows that support both emerging and established artists.

Throughout the exhibition there will also be a programme of artist-led workshops and events designed to encourage visitors to return and engage more deeply with the work on show.
