Kurt Jackson has contributed to a new Cornwall Hospice Care’s Where Art Meets The Wave project. All of the boards can be bid on in an online auction.

This art project sees Cornish artists take one of 40+ wooden belly boards, and use their own inspiration and skills to turn these simple boards into desirable works of art.

Thursday 25th September will see the culmination of the project with a final exhibition of all the artworks together coinciding with the final day of the auction.

Kurt Jackson was recently awarded the great honour of being named a Bard of the Cornish Gorsedh. Kurt has taken the Bardic Name Lymner Bardh an Howlsedhes (The Painter Poet of the West in the Cornish language).

Bards are elected by the Gorsedh Council and the honour of Bardship is awarded to people who have given exceptional service to Cornwall by a manifestation of the Celtic spirit or by service to Cornwall, to people who qualify by a high degree of proficiency in the Cornish language and people of distinction who, in the opinion of the Gorsedh Council, should be received as Bards of Honour.

“I was delighted to have been invited by the Cornish Gorsedh to become a Bard – it feels like a real honour, a real recognition of my career in Cornwall, and as part of the wider Cornish community. The ceremony was extraordinary – something quite bizarre within that rich tapestry of Cornish life – it felt very special and welcoming and quite humbling.

“I dedicate this honour to my wife Caroline as an essential part of my life and creativity. 

“So, thank you Cornwall for making me a Cornish Bard!” – Kurt Jackson
