The exhibition spans paintings, photographs and mixed-media works from the last century through to the present day, all exploring identity and how each of us works out who we are and how we want to be seen.
No booking required, just drop in any time between 10am and 3pm and get creative in response to the exhibition themes.
There will be a short break during the workshops where Kate from Falmouth Library will share fairytales and stories linked with the exhibition. Stories begin at 1pm every day, so bring your lunch and enjoy a tale or two. Stories for all ages and all welcome.
And remember, Falmouth Art Gallery offers free admission, so if the workshop sparks your curiosity, pop inside afterwards to see Mirrors for yourself.
