Creftow Gallery was started in 1990 after the closure of AT & EM Bray, a furniture shop which preceded the Gallery on the same site. The idea, for a gallery, was born out of the West Cornwall Art & Craft group which lost its premises in 1985. Ceramics by members of WCA&C were in fact displayed between and on items of furniture for several years before the furniture shop closed so the opening of Creftow seemed a fitting alternative.

Two gallery spaces downstairs create a light and peaceful place to browse and across a courtyard full of plants and shrubs a third gallery space (the Bray room) provides an ideal setting for displaying larger paintings and pots. The gallery space upstairs is used mainly as an exhibition gallery for members and guest artists. This gallery can be hired by local artists to exhibit their work.
