Harbour Lights Gallery
| Porthgain
Harbour Lights Gallery is a family run independent Gallery selling Welsh Art and sculpture. Most of our artists are based in Wales and their main focus and inspiration is the Pembrokeshire Coast and its wildlife. Alongside these fabulous coastal inspired works we also show paintings and prints by many well known 20th Century artists, pieces that don’t necessarily relate to our landscape but that will certainly catch your eye for their quality.
Our Gallery is unique in Pembrokeshire, you will not find these artists in other Galleries and we strive to show an eclectic mix of styles, mediums and prices. Thankfully, artists from all over the UK are drawn to the coast here and so we have a diverse selection of artists to work with.
We don’t run exhibitions, our Gallery is an ever changing display of Welsh Art with works by over 40 artists.
We hope you can visit and look forward to sharing some amazing Welsh art with you.
