About the NSA
The NSA is a group of about one hundred and fifty professional artists
who either live in the South West or have strong connections with
the area. The membership is composed of artists working across the
full range of contemporary media including painting, sculpture,
photography, printmaking, video/digital, site specific and performance.
The NSA has a close working relationship with The Exchange in Penzance
and Newlyn Art Gallery where it has had its home since its formation
more than a century ago. It is run by a committee elected annually
from the membership and administered in collaboration with Newlyn
Art Gallery. The current Chairperson is Marion Taylor.
Exhibitions
The NSA has a deservedly high reputation for its exhibitions which
include regular shows at The Exchange and Newlyn Art Gallery. The
shows are often themed and are selected from open submissions of
members work. As well as curating exhibitions ‘in house’
such as the very successful ‘Lineage’ at Newlyn Gallery
in 2007, the NSA works with curators and selectors from many different
backgrounds. These have included critics such as Norbert Lynton
and John Russell Taylor, journalist Joan Bakewell, gallerist Theo
Waddington and curators Kate MacFarlane and Mary Doyle of the Drawing
Room, London. The NSA places great importance on promoting the work
of its members as broadly as possible and has organized exhibitions
in London, Bristol, Plymouth, Hastings, Cuxhaven, Brittany and Tuscany.
