What We Do

Over two decades, Jerwood Arts has been at the forefront of supporting extraordinary, distinctive and visionary artists to develop their practices and create outstanding new work.

We were established in 1999 by Jerwood Foundation to take on and develop project funding activity through an endowment fund of £25 million which was set up in 2005.  We will be merging with Jerwood Foundation in 2024. Further details will be announced in the late autumn.

Jerwood Arts is the trading name of Jerwood Charity (previously Jerwood Charitable Foundation), and we are a registered UK company and charity.
