Penzance's Exchange Art Gallery opens to rival the Tate. St Ives!

Local MP, Andrew George was just one of the notable guests attending the private viewing before Saturday's official opening of the Exchange in Penzance.The stunning wave-form glass edifice reflects more traditional buidlings in town.
A real splash of colour hung overhead....
and provided refuge for gallery staff taking a breather...
as did some of the guests, in face of the new smoking ban
and still they flocked in.....
some making last minute adjustments to the hair.... the constantly changing light is captured by the glass....
We will be looking to see how many local influences come to be represented in the coming exhibitions.
