Arts & Culture
As the cultural centre of Devon and Cornwall there is always amazing art to cultural diversity around the city of Plymouth. Arts and culture fans can delight in the many events held within the city each year.
Choose from an abundance of cultural events and art festivals or head to a vintage festival or antique fair and revel in the music, fashion, film and art and design that Plymouth has to offer.
Plymouth plays host to a number of locally produced and nationally touring exhibitions throughout the year.
Venues such as Plymouth Arts Cinema, The Gallery at Plymouth College of Art and The Arts Institute have a rolling programme of high quality shows on display. Admission to these exhibitions is usually free and all the venues are within a short walking distance from each other so it’s easy to visit more than one in a day.
The Box is currently closed for a major redevelopment, due to open in 2020 but is running an offsite exhibition programme across the city that highlight its collections, local history anniversaries and exciting visual arts projects. Venues such as Karst also have exciting and original gallery programmes. Take a look below for more information about what’s on display in the city over the next few months.
