Our vision: we want to showcase the best contemporary art and create a space of peace and inspiration that will delight and nourish visitors of all ages, building a legacy of cultural engagement, enjoyment and learning for today and long into the future.
The not-for-profit Foundation will focus on the three pillars of Art, Environment and Education. We believe that this initiative will not only create truly inspirational experiences, but also ensure that all our visitors improve both their physical and mental health by engaging with art and education in our beautiful natural environment. The Foundation will foster wellbeing, creativity and lifelong learning for all people of all ages and abilities through engagement with art and connectedness to nature.
We are working with world experts, including Ann Gallagher, Dan Pearson and Sally Bacon - leaders in the fields of art curation, landscaping and arts education respectively. Goodwood has been heavily involved in these core areas for many years and the Foundation provides an opportunity to further develop this legacy and the important messages associated with its values for generations to come.
