Jarvis Cocker

Patron

Our esteemed Patron Jarvis Cocker needs no introduction!  A long time fan of self-taught art and visionary art environments, Jarvis presented Journeys Into The Outside with Jarvis Cocker, produced and directed by Martin Wallace for Channel4. Jarvis was quite taken with Ron’s style of interior decoration (and his papier-mache ‘baby with a 6 pack’ ) when Martin showed him around Ron’s Place, and donated the proceeds of a special Jarvis Cocker in Conversation: Good Pop, Bad Pop fundraiser at Liverpool’s Playhouse to Ron’s Place. Martin persuaded Jarvis to become a patron of Ron’s Place back in March 2021 and we’re thrilled to have him on board.
