Goodwood Art Foundation is a new not-for-profit destination for contemporary art in the UK, opening May 2025. Work by the very best international artists will show in the galleries and across the 70-acre landscape, which features wooded glades, wildflower meadows and ancient woodland and has been reimagined by landscape designer Dan Pearson.
The inaugural season features a headline presentation by Rachel Whiteread, with further works in the galleries and landscape by Lubna Chowdhary, Helio Oiticica, Isamu Noguchi, Susan Philipsz, Veronica Ryan and Amie Siegel. A brand new amphitheatre has been constructed to host the Foundation’s annual performance programme throughout the summer months.
Art, environment and education are the three pillars at the centre of the Foundation’s ethos. Its vision is to foster wellbeing, creativity and lifelong learning for all, through engagement with art and connectedness to nature. Situated on the Goodwood Estate in West Sussex, the Foundation builds on the Estate’s long history of supporting art and delivering world-class visitor experiences.
The Idan and Batia Ofer Family Foundation is proud to support the vision and work of the Goodwood Art Foundation. With a shared commitment to fostering cultural excellence, education, and access to the arts, the Foundation is honored to play a role in the creation of this important new platform for contemporary art in the UK.
