Hidden art Cornwall is a not-for-profit organisation which creates opportunities for designer-makers who live or work in Cornwall. We aim to improve access to information, enable the exchange of ideas and expertise and offer a platform for designer-makers to exhibit and sell work, products and designs to key markets and the public.

 

Hidden Art began in London in 1994 as a small open studios event to promote quality work by 43 Hackney-based designer-makers. A decade on, it has developed into a unique network, supporting over 1,800 designer-makers and building links between the creative and manufacturing industries and their clients. Hidden Art Cornwall is the pilot franchise of Hidden Art in association with University College Falmouth.  

Hidden Art Cornwall offers a number of initiatives that focus on the various issues which designer-makers face at all stages in their development. The range of projects include local and London based showcasing  events, and training and support services, such as networking evenings. All of these are promoted through this website which features news, information and an extensive directory of designer-makers’ work. The quarterly colour Hidden Art Magazine features news from both London and Cornwall, focusing  on Hidden Art’s innovative projects. As a not-for-profit organisation, any revenue generated through Hidden Art’s services is reinvested to support designer-makers.
