Newquay's local MP, Stephen Gilbert, has commended the 'Newquay and the Sea' project at its launch earlier this week.
Stephen attended the launch, held in the Methodist Hall on Monday, of the biggest ever exhibition of Newquay's art and cultural heritage. The exhibition has been given space at the Methodist Hall, the Headland Hotel and the Atlantic Hotel for the following week and has been collected by the Newquay Society of Artists and the Newquay Old Cornwall Society.
Commenting on the project, Stephen said:
"I am proud of our Cornish heritage; it is one of the things that make our area so unique and special. That is why I was so excited to attend the launch of the Newquay and the Sea exhibition.
"The treasured paintings and artefacts highlight the strong relationship Newquay has with the sea, and I would strongly recommend that everyone who can goes along to see them."
