In Cumbria you’ll find a range of art galleries and exhibition spaces that host a constantly changing menu of works in virtually every medium. It’s nice to see art hanging on a brightly lit wall, or to see beautifully made craftwork on a plinth, but in Cumbria we also invite you to explore the studios and workshops where that work was made, and even to meet the artist that made it.
