Exclusive paintings of Glastonbury festival by leading British artist Kurt Jackson raised £68,000 for Greenpeace when they were auctioned last weekend. As a long-time Greenpeace supporter Kurt generously gave us 29 artworks from his time as artist-in-residence at the festival. They were all painted in situ, and included portraits of Radiohead, Massive Attack, Lily Allen, Amadou and Neil Young, plus some amazing landscapes and scenes from the festival.

Artist Kurt Jackson has long been a supporter of Greenpeace, employing his talents to help with our campaigns on a number of occasions. From sketching at a demonstration around the Aldermaston AWE nuclear weapons facility to joining the crew of the Esperanza to protest about dolphins dying in fishermen's nets, he's been throwing an artistic light on some of the most pressing issues we're currently facing.

One of the hundreds of citizens inspecting Aldermaston earlier this week was the artist Kurt Jackson. He’s best known for his paintings of the Cornish landscape, but it turns out he’s also a dab hand at sketching nuclear weapons facilities. In the rain. Under the scrutiny of nosy police officers.
