About

A new destination for contemporary art in the UK, the Goodwood Art Foundation will feature the work of internationally acclaimed artists set amid a stunning natural landscape, offering an inspiring and enriching experience for all.

Each year, the annual programme will feature a headline exhibition by an exceptional artist of international standing. For 2025 it's Rachel Whiteread, one of the most highly respected sculptors of her generation and the first female artist to win the Turner Prize. Alongside her characteristic sculpture there will be an opportunity to see little known and rarely exhibited photography by the artist.

The 70-acre rural setting - which occupies the same site as the Cass Sculpture Foundation, which closed in 2020, but has been tripled in size - is integral to the experience. Award-winning horticulturist and landscape designer, Dan Pearson, has devised an extensive programme of landscape development and planting for the new grounds. Dan has planted 100,000 bulbs and 1000 new trees including a striking Cherry Grove, and created an Amphitheatre which will serve as a multi-use space and a setting for a host of events.

A brand new licensed café, 24, will be serving delicious breakfasts and seasonal dishes from a small-plates menu. Set between the trees and with a view down to the sea, the café's ethos is based around wellness, relaxation, and the provision of healthy, delicious, locally sourced food.

Goodwood Art Foundation will open weekly from Wednesday to Sunday and visitors are urged to book in advance as spaces at each session will be limited. Annual memberships are available to purchase offering a host of exclusive opportunities. Day tickets are £15 each and accompanied under-18s are free. For those arriving by bicycle or on foot there is a Green Traveller Concession ticket priced at just £10.
