CAST is a visual arts organisation, based in Helston, Cornwall. Our ambitious public programme includes exhibitions of artist’s film, talks, screening events and workshops. We provide learning programmes for schools and creative activities for children, families and young people. CAST is also home to artists’ studios, an open-access ceramics studio and an excellent Café.
CAST is committed to enriching cultural life in Cornwall and the South West and encouraging regional, national and international connection and exchange.
