We are sad to announce the passing of Viv Hendra, principal of the Lander Gallery in Truro. Viv established the gallery in 2002 with his brother Simon and it remained in Truro for 16 years before moving online in 2018. Over the years Viv handled many notable works by Cornish artists both past and present and regularly staged exhibitions to help promote emerging talent.
The gallery will remain active online and will be managed by Viv's brother Simon.
