Penlee House Gallery is a traditional art gallery located in Penzance, in Penlee Park. Most of the work exhibited is local artists from late 19th and early 20th century. It specialises in showing the rich cultural heritage and art history in West Penwith. Many of the artists lived and worked in Newlyn, Lamorna and St Ives, all locations that still hold rich artistic communities. Personally I didn't like the art style shown there, but I can see it's historical importance.
The Acorn Arts Centre is a local theatre in Penzance. They do lots of community work, working with the Golowan organisers and using the centre as a base for the Golowan events such as banner making. They also host shows from well known performers such as Dan Antopolski and Joanna Neary. Sadly, the Acorn is currently under threat due to a lack of funding, and if something is not done soon they will have to close.
