13 Since it opened in 2012, Jerwood Gallery in Hastings, the most recent major capital project of the Jerwood Foundation, has become part of the town’s artistic and cultural hub. The Gallery is making a major contribution to the regeneration and heritage of East Sussex and the south coast.

Taking inspiration from the Jerwood Collection and the gallery’s seaside location, the award-winning building features seven permanent galleries, the Foreshore Gallery receiving space, sculpture courtyard, café, education and meeting space, reading room and shop.

In the few years since this beautiful gallery opened in 2012, the Jerwood has gone from strength to strength and is now a world-class arts venue. As well as a steady stream of first-rate exhibitions, the exquisitely designed building also houses a fabulous Contemporary and Modern British collection, including works by big names such as Walter Sickert and LS Lowry. I’m thrilled that people in the region have this sort of art to enjoy on their doorstep but it’s also clear the gallery has transformed the cultural reputation of Hastings and draws in large numbers of visitors from afar. ―Sajid Javid MP, Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport and Minister Jerwood Gallery, Hastings for Equalities Photo: Pete Jones

An incredible £29,598 was crowd-funded through Art Happens, the Art Fund’s groundbreaking crowd- funding platform, surpassing the £25,000 funding target. Without the support of the Art Fund and White Cube (who represent the Chapmans), an exhibition of that scale would not have been possible.

Looking ahead to 2015, we are excited by the promise of a diverse range of artistic partnerships: with ambitious monographic shows planned for artists Chantal Joffe RA, Rachel Howard, Edward Burra (1905–1976) and LS Lowry RA (1887–1976), and further important collaborations with the Fleming Collection and Kettle’s Yard, University of Cambridge.

19 Ansel Krut: Verbatim (3 May – 9 July 2014)

Ansel Krut. Photo: Pete Jones

This show brought together an ambitious series of previously unseen paintings by the South African born Ansel Krut, in the most comprehensive exhibition of this extraordinary and influential artist to date. He was second prize winner in the Jerwood Drawing Prize in 2002.

Krut’s painting subverts still life by linking objects to make playful and often dark characters and forms. Vegetables, domestic objects and geometric shapes are transformed into uncanny figures. These provocative and comic inventions draw on paradoxes, vaudeville and peep shows and are poised between absurdity and moral criticism.

Jake & Dinos Chapman: In the Realm of the Unmentionable commanded significant technical skill and planning, including the installation of a false ceiling in one of the galleries, the craning of a half-tonne bronze sculpture into the internal courtyard and transformation of the education studio into a tattoo parlour. The exhibition brought together the largest body of new work by the brothers, with a strong link to history, the Spanish romantic painter and printmaker, Francisco Goya (1746–1828) being a particular source of reference. Press attention for the exhibition was tremendous with the gallery being featured in the BBC Four TV programme What do Artists Do All Day? and BBC Radio 4’s Today and Loose Ends.

23 Jerwood Space opened 16 years ago in 1998 as a major capital initiative of the Jerwood Foundation and is recognised as one of the best rehearsal spaces for theatre and dance in the UK.

Working with established companies allows Jerwood Space to subsidise space for emerging theatre and dance makers, enabling them to develop their art in an outstanding environment. Housed in a building of architectural interest and significance near London’s South Bank, Jerwood Space also offers gallery spaces, meeting rooms and a café with a striking glazed courtyard which are open to the public and available for hire.

The level of concentration achievable in Jerwood Space has without doubt benefited the creative process inside the rehearsal room… It is widely known as the premier rehearsal space, certainly my first choice. ― Sam Yates, Director, East is East

The Jerwood Space is the most creative and inspiring gift to the theatre community. A space that has at its heart the needs of artists, both in terms of an uplifting place to be but also with all practical considerations about how to create the best work with a minimum of hassle.

You can really feel the Jerwood Space team’s encouragement and steadfast support. It’s a place where you can either enjoy the benefits of an artistic community or some welcome solitude whatever suits the part of the process you’re in.

It’s the perfect environment to make theatre. It has been a lifesaver to Headlong this year and we will always be grateful. – Jeremy Herrin, Artistic Director, Headlong Theatre

29 Jerwood Charitable Foundation is a grant-making foundation and UK registered charity which supports early career artists and arts producers across art forms, through revenue grants.

Established by the Jerwood Foundation in 1999, and with a current endowment of £29 million, we seek and proactively initiate imaginative arts projects with a broad range of exceptional organisations and individuals across the UK. We are committed to supporting artists and arts organisations to explore and develop their talents, to make artistic work of the utmost strength, quality and excellence. We are also committed to advocating for and developing the best possible environments and conditions for the making of art.

The Jerwood/FVU Awards appeared at a totally vital point in my career… This glimpse of being taken seriously – the professional collaborative possibilities, the budget, the discursive weight, the deadlines – all of this conjured a sense that my work could matter. Which is a feeling that has grown exponentially, as a direct consequence. ― Ed Atkins, artist and recipient of the Jerwood/FVU Awards The Lowry Studio Idle Motion The Seagull Effect Featured: L–R, Grace Chapman, Ellie Simpson, Nicholas Pitt, Kate Stanley Photo: Kate Stanley
