The Jigsaw Art Foundation is central to our long-standing connection with British arts and culture. Established as our charitable arm, it champions creative expression across the country and reflects our belief in the value of artistic work. Through active collaborations and sustained support for a wide range of artists and institutions, the Foundation has strengthened the ties between fashion and the arts within our community.
Its UK-based programme funds initiatives and sponsorships that nurture emerging creatives at the beginning of their journeys while also partnering with prominent national organisations. In doing so, the Foundation encourages greater participation in the arts and helps to enrich cultural life throughout the United Kingdom.
After last year’s success, we are proud to be sponsoring the 2026 Nevill Holt Festival, an independent arts festival welcoming an outstanding lineup of over 150 of the UK’s leading musicians, artists and speakers to the beautiful grounds of the Nevill Holt estate in Leicestershire.

The Jigsaw Art Foundation is proud to support Relative Ties, an exhibition at The Women's Art Collection, Murray Edwards College, Cambridge. Tracing a creative legacy across three generations of women, the exhibit brings together the work of four artists from the Nicholson family: painter Mabel Nicholson, textile designer Nancy Nicholson, artist and designer EQ Nicholson, and textile maker Louisa Creed.
Through paintings, fabrics, prints, interior designs and original working materials, Relative Ties reveals how artistic ideas, skills and influences are shared within families and carried forward over time. Additionally, a new commission by contemporary artist Katie Schwab reflects on connections between generations of women and their shared creative practices.

The Jigsaw Foundation is proud to be supporting the largest exhibition to date of the acclaimed British artist Howard Hodgkin. Curated by Richard Calvocoressi and presented at Pitzhanger Gallery, the show brings together 46 works that highlight the breadth and vitality of Hodgkin's practice. Spanning five decades of prints from 1966 to 2016, it also features five paintings and archival material shedding light on Hodgkin's relationship with India, including photographs, works on paper and seventeenth century Mughal pottery tiles. At its heart is Portrait of the Artist Listening to Music, Hodgkin's final painting and last self-portrait, an intimate and reflective tribute to one of Britain's most distinctive artistic journeys.
Art For Cure is a national charity which raises money through the sale of art to provide grant funding to leading breast cancer research and support services in the UK. In October 2024, Art For Cure took over our Westbourne Grove store in light of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, where guests had the chance to purchase a selection of exclusive local art, with all proceeds going to the charity.

This remarkable showcase was dedicated to celebrating Hurvin Anderson’s acclaimed Barbershop series, a vibrant and captivating assembly of paintings and drawings that provoke inquiries about perception, history, authenticity, and the essence of experience - all from the perspective of a Birmingham barbershop.
