About Us.
Our Story
Bodmin Revival CIC is proud to introduce the Bodmin Gallery, a vibrant new space in the heart of the town centre that celebrates local creativity and talent.
We’ve transformed a vacant unit into a warm and welcoming gallery at 61 Fore Street, Bodmin (opposite Woolacotts). This is the first step in our wider mission to breathe new life into Bodmin’s high street and give local artists and makers the platform they deserve.
A Space to Discover Local Art
The Bodmin Gallery showcases a wide range of high-quality work by local creatives. Expect to find original paintings, limited-edition prints, ceramics, jewellery, handmade cards and more, all crafted with care and individuality. Every piece reflects the incredible talent we have in Cornwall.
📍 Visit us at:
61 Fore Street, Bodmin, PL31 2JB
Open: Monday to Saturday, 10am to 4pm

Why This Matters for Bodmin
Bringing Energy Back to the Town Centre
Bodmin has seen a rise in empty shops and a drop in footfall. By filling a once-vacant space with art, culture and community, the Gallery helps draw people back in, supports nearby businesses and restores a sense of pride in the town.
Supporting Local Talent
We are proud to support artists, makers and designers from Bodmin and beyond. By giving them a space to sell and share their work, we are creating new opportunities for creative careers in Cornwall.
Strengthening Community Connections
The Gallery is also a place for the community. Whether you’re an artist, visitor or local resident, this space encourages connection, conversation and collaboration.
Looking Ahead: The Creative Studio
While the Gallery is our current focus, our long-term vision includes launching the Creative Studio on the lower ground floor.
This space will eventually host:
-
Creative workshops
-
Community events
-
Mentoring and freelance opportunities
-
Industry support for young creatives
The idea for the studio came from conversations between Mark Talbot, Higher Education Lead at CELT, and Jon Drever, a visiting lecturer at the Bodmin College Digital Media Degree Course. Their vision was to create a supportive, professional space that helps creatives transition into industry.
Bodmin College runs Cornwall’s only Digital Media BA (Hons) course for 11–18 education, and many graduates have gone on to work with high-profile names like Gucci, Coco Gauff and Anthony Joshua. The Creative Studio will build on this foundation, offering real-world experience, creative collaboration and long-term growth.
Our Promise to Bodmin
The Bodmin Gallery and future Creative Studio are part of a bigger goal to help the town thrive. As a self-sustaining project, the Gallery will generate its own income to reduce reliance on public funding and create lasting impact. Every visitor, every purchase and every shared story contributes to a stronger, more creative future for Bodmin.
We are just getting started.
