ASSEMBLY is a live/work space for artists in St. Just, housed in a former Wesleyan chapel, in the centre of the UK's most westerly mainland town. 

Assembly has hosted residencies, talks and discussions involving large numbers of artists and curators from the local area and further afield. 

Arts collectives, individual artists from all disciplines, and writers have worked in Assembly. 

The Building - Though the town feels like a village today, when the chapel was built in 1757 St Just was a major tin mining area, with a rapidly growing population. By 1833 this chapel was already too small for use and another was built close by. The building became the Sunday School and Assembly Hall for the adjacent school. As the price of tin dropped and the mines began to close over the course of the nineteenth century the building fell into disrepair. It was sold by the church in the 1970s. In 2005, after a series of conversions the building was divided into to two. Assembly occupies the back half of this building and has open and adaptable studio space. St Just - There are regular buses from St Just to Penzance train station where direct trains link Penwith to London and the rest of the UK. In the market square there is a bakery, butcher, greengrocers, restaurants, cafes, four pubs, a deli, and the Co-op. There is also a public library, a framers and hardware store. Assembly lies at the junction of two roads, one running down to the Cot Valley and the sea at Porth-Nanven, the other to Priests Cove at Cape Cornwall. The Cape was considered to be the most westerly point of England until cartographers affirmed that Land's End is slightly further west.  front.html
