While the main gallery features new works and exhibitions by leading contemporary artist Kurt Jackson, the upstairs charity space focuses on the Foundation’s collaborations with the various charities we support, including Greenpeace, Surfers Against Sewage, Friends of the Earth and Cornwall Wildlife Trust.

Upstairs@theJacksonFoundation aims to foster an appreciation of the natural world and the pressures upon it; to promote and encourage an awareness of the environment and conservation through education and the arts.

This upstairs charity space highlights the work of national and locally based charities in the environmental sector.

Monumental Improvement
August 15 2020 – February 2021

Cornwall ’s heritage is cherished by people across the world for its beauty, for the awe and fascination it inspires, and for the benef its it brings – enriching our lives, connecting communities and supporting the economy.

For A Prehistoric Cornwall, the Jackson Foundation has collaborated with The Cornwall Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty Partnership, a group of 22 organisations working together to protect and enhance Cornwall’s finest landscapes – a number of which feature in A Prehistoric Cornwall.

The Monumental Improvement Project protects these sites and re-establishes them in the consciousness of local people and visitors, reintegrating them into our lives and communities.

You can find out more about their work in the exhibition upstairs, their website and social media channels.
