Based in Goodwood near Chichester, in the heart of West Sussex, the Cass Sculpture Foundation occupies a magical 26 acres of unspoilt ancient woodland, within which over 70 regularly changing monumental works by over 50 carefully selected and innovative British sculptors are on display. Sculptures are by artists at all stages of their careers from just out of college to sculptors on the international stage.
The Cass Sculpture Foundation is a charity, recognised internationally as the home of 21st century British sculpture. Established by Wilfred and Jeannette Cass in 1992, the charity's key objective is to enable the future of British sculpture today. Over the past 15 years, they have commissioned more than 160 large-scale sculptures from over 120 British artists.
Cass Sculpture Foundation commissions several new large-scale sculptures each year, funded by the sale of previously commissioned works. By doing so, the Foundation continues to provide support and promotion for contemporary British sculpture as well as a unique aesthetic experience for its many visitors.
Cass Sculpture commissions, displays, promotes internationally and sells monumental sculptures to a diverse range of buyers from around the world - from private collectors, to individual enterprises, to public spaces, to the business community at large.
Each year the Foundation commissions 12-15 large scale sculptures and numerous smaller works (maquettes). With a commission, the artist is supported through a system that covers the casting or fabrication cost of each new work, and which encourages artists to realise sculptures that would otherwise be beyond their financial reach. When a sculpture, whether large or small, is sold the Foundation receives back its financial outlay and a percentage to cover its overheads, the major proceeds going to the artist.
