An Art To It
8: The importance of commercial galleries in the creative community with Liz Francis
06 Sep 2024
Liz Francis has run the hugely popular and successful Padstow Gallery in north Cornwall since 2018. Since then it has gained a deserved reputation for the high calibre of work it exhibits in its changing and permanent beautifully curated exhibitions. In our chat Liz shares her journey from studying in an entirely different field (pardon the pun, tune in to discover more!) to finding her dream job in running a gallery. We talk about her vision for Padstow Gallery, what she looks for in the art and contemporary craft that she exhibits, and of course the highs, lows, joys and frustrations of running a commercial business in a creative community. https://padstowgallery.co.uk/ This is the final episode in this first series of An Art to It, if you've enjoyed it I would be so grateful if you could please leave a review and a star rating, and please do tell your friends.
