Art in the City

Big Art - Emma and Lucy paint the Cherry trees

‘Art in the City', is Truro's annual visual arts festival that draws together arts based businesses in Truro.

Art in the City is brought to you by Totally Truro, the organisation delivering Truro's Business Improvement District (BID). Events are co-ordinated in partnership with Event Cornwall and promoted by MPAD. The festival involves open spaces and galleries across the city of Truro.

The purpose of the festival is to create a series of events that make art accessible to the community; that celebrate existing artists and galleries within Truro and that opens up opportunities for new artists; thereby attracting additional visitors to the city.

From ‘Big Art', which involves established and emerging artists creating giant canvases on Truro's streets before being exhibited and then auctioned off, to the ‘Art Fair' and from events in the city's galleries to an open art competition, we hope you will enjoy being a part of this year's ‘Art in the City' festival in Truro.
