Contemporary Cornish Art Gallery in Porthleven
Established in 1997, Albatross Gallery in Porthleven is a family-run space dedicated to showcasing exceptional Cornish artistic talent. Our curated collection features paintings, ceramics, and crafts created by local artists, many of whom live and work within the village or nearby. We prioritise sustainability through practices like hand-making in Cornish clay and using natural materials. The gallery offers a carefully selected range of gifts and homeware, including limited-edition prints and locally sourced products. With over thirty artists represented, we provide a platform for both emerging and established creators.

Our team maintains deep connections to the Cornish creative community, ensuring each piece reflects the region's unique character. We welcome visitors to explore our light-filled space during regular opening hours, with advance notice recommended for Sunday visits. The gallery actively invites new artist submissions via email, fostering ongoing discovery of local talent. Our commitment to quality extends to customer service, with staff available to assist with inquiries or special requests. As a community-focused business, we balance commercial operations with support for regional artists and sustainable practices.

Excellent little gallery with a wide range of paintings, prints, cards, placemats, coasters, cussions and much more. The sea life range (pictured) is in my opinion absolutely stunning, we ended up with 4 cards, 2 coasters and 3 cussions. The coasters are really good quality with a soft base to prevent damaging your table, the cussions are on unbleached cotton and are really well filled. There's probably cheaper around, but ultimately you get what you pay for and the quality at Albatross is superb.

Such lovely staff. Many lovely things for home and gifts! Best little treasure trove of our camping trip! We bought some heavy things and were gifted a canvas bag to make sure we could make it along our journey carrying the lovely things. Thank you thank you.

Beautiful shop bursting with vintage and shabby chic items! I bought a lovely framed pirate picture to go in my nautical themed lounge! I could happily spend hours admiring the goodies in here.
