Set in the beautiful and historic fishing village of Polperro, on Cornwall's south coast between Looe and Fowey, Ebenezer Gallery is surely unique in its origins and in its display of artwork. It is situated on the right hand side of the main road half way between the car park and the harbour.

 The building originally opened as a Bible Christian Chapel in 1877. By the early 1970s it was no longer a chapel but a builder's store. Founder members of the East Cornwall Society of Artists with great foresight managed to buy it in 1972 through donations and loans, and it was later converted into a gallery to display members' work.  Improvements have continued right up to the present. The Society, formed in 1946 now has over 120 members and exhibit their work at Christmas, Easter and in the long Summer exhibition. Paintings in all media, including, oil, pastels and watercolours are displayed alongside ceramics, woodturning and sculpture on the two floors of the old chapel. Members of the East Cornwall Society of Artists are always on duty when the gallery is open and will be please to give you details of the various artists whose work is displayed.
