Porthmeor studios

Tate St Ives Cornwall: A short film looking at the influence the studios has had on the town of St Ives, with reference to the artists that have worked there and are exhibited at the Tate.

Sara Hughes, the Curator of Tate St Ives, guides us through the historical relationship the gallery has had with the studios. She discusses the residency they run there at studio number 5 (formerly home to Patrick Heron and Ben Nicholson amongst others).
Luke Frost, grandson of modernist Sir Terry Frost also contributes with his finding of the studio space as the current resident artist.
