Our Team

Chris and Lucy – Owners / Managers

Cornish born Lucy and her Aussie husband Chris took over Truro Arts Company in 2011 and moved the shop to its current premises in River Street shortly afterwards. Their vision is for the business to be the creative hub of Cornwall – offering everything from art products to workshops and exhibitions for both the amateur and professional artist. Plus a fab Arts Café of course!
