About us
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.
What is Goodwood Art Foundation?
A not-for-profit Foundation, our mission rests on three pillars: Art, Environment and Education. We believe the Foundation will create truly inspirational experiences, creating opportunities to enjoy art in a beautiful natural setting, and fostering wellbeing, creativity and lifelong learning for people of all ages and abilities through engagement with art and a connectedness to nature.
Who we are
Our core creative team is made up of leaders in the fields of art curation, landscaping and arts education. Together, we're working hard to ensure the Foundation provides the best possible experience for our visitors, bringing together Art, Environment and Education into one compelling offer that will create a legacy of cultural engagement for years to come.

Support Us
The generosity of our supporters helps us to enrich the lives of our visitors through the enjoyment of art in a beautiful outdoor setting and, vitally, allows us to make art accessible for those schools and children who need it most.
The Foundation will place important works of contemporary art in a stunning natural environment while also delivering a powerful education programme. I am thrilled to be launching this vital part of Goodwood’s 21st century legacy.
