St Ives September Festival

Late summer: Fiesta and Festival





September is time to party with the School of Painting. Seventy-five years ago this month, Leonard Fuller opened the St Ives School of Painting at Porthmeor Studios.

1938 was the year that Chamberlain attempted to appease Hitler; Daphne du Maurier published Rebecca; James Cagney and Humphrey Bogart starred in Angels with Dirty Faces; test cricket was televised for the first time ever; and the first edition of The Beano appeared on newsstands. To celebrate the School of Painting's anniversary, we're having a party. We hope you can join us for cocktails.

The St Ives September Festival has been going since 1977, to bring a diverse range of music, art, poetry and performance to St Ives. This year, the School of Painting is running a series of workshops covering everything from collage to iPad sketching, to help develop your skills or try something new.

Happy 75th Birthday!
