Circle Contemporary

Gallery 

CIRCLE is a leading art gallery located in North Cornwall, set across two floors of beautifully curated exhibition space. Now in its 10th year, the gallery is directed by Lucy Thorman and artist John O'Carroll.

Situated on the Atlantic Highway (A39) between Padstow and Wadebridge, CIRCLE presents a thoughtfully selected collection of contemporary paintings, sculpture, textiles, original prints and ceramics by both local and internationally recognised artists.

The gallery’s distinctive voice is shaped by artists and makers whose practices are deeply rooted in the landscapes they inhabit—whether coastal or rural.

With a dynamic year-round programme of expertly curated exhibitions, CIRCLE showcases a core group of resident artists alongside invited guest artists, across both solo and group shows.

You can explore the current and upcoming exhibitions, along with the full collection of artworks online.
