Redwing Gallery is a not-for-profit social enterprise. Founded as a Community Interest Company in 2011, we provide a platform for art and artists working outside the mainstream commercial art world.

This can simply be because the artist’s work doesn’t easily fit into the commercial norm or because of learning difficulty, physical or sensory disability, mental health issues, lack of training or social skills or social circumstance.

Redwing is an inclusive community space where people meet for group activities like art, chess and music, social support, sharing information and so on.

Redwing serves plant-based food and drink in its vegan cafe and alcohol-free event space in a formerly derelict pub in Penzance. We support local suppliers and fair trade.

We work with local supermarkets, Foodiverse and Gleaning Network Cornwall to redistribute excess food to anyone who can use it through our Community Larder.

We run a monthly Repair Cafe too.

Our activities and events are community led and Redwing is run by a team of around 20 volunteers from the local community.

In late 2023 Redwing moved into a former pub which had been empty for over nine years. We have carried out renovations and raised funds to purchase the building as a community asset.
