About

The Foster has reopened to the public by appointment on Sundays and Tuesdays-Fridays. Take a break and experience beautiful art and inspiring journeys.

What is The Foster?

The Foster houses the permanent collection of the Foster Art & Wilderness Foundation. The foundation was established to preserve, and keep intact, Tony Foster’s watercolor journey paintings as a whole work of art. The Foster also serves as a venue for art, wilderness, educational and community programs and events.

Who is Tony Foster?

Artist-Explorer Tony Foster is a plein air artist who lives in Cornwall, United Kingdom. Since 1982, Tony has created a series of watercolor journeys in the world’s great wildernesses. Currently, Foster is working on his 17th journey.

Our 14,000 square foot museum also serves as a venue available for use by selected community groups.
