oused within a massive exindustrial building in the centre of the thriving former mining town of St Just-in-Penwith, the Jackson Foundation was set up by leading contemporary artist Kurt Jackson and his wife Caroline and hosts contemporary exhibitions, events and fundraisers, in partnership with a variety of environmental and non-profit organisations. This exciting and versatile, world-class art gallery is free to the public, bridging the gap between public and private art centres, and is the ideal venue to view a varied eclectic range of artistic expression spanning painting, poetry, sculpture, installation and film. Run by husband and wife Fynn and Zinzi Tucker, this environmentally focused art space is green-built, sustainably managed and carbon-positive. Powered by an array of high efficiency solar panels and ground-
source heat pumps, the Foundation goes further by delivering paintings within Cornwall by one of its two zero emission, fully-electric cars. Providing local employment, raising awareness and funds for groups working to protect the environment, and giving back to a community that has been home to the Jackson family for nearly thirty years, this art space works to become a positive force for change. The Jackson Foundation aims to provide a space, open to one and all, to re ect on our symbolic relationship with the natural world, and the rewards to be found by taking a step back and looking around; to see the world through an artist’s eyes.
