## **OBJECTIVES** 

Art Space Portsmouth (ASP) is committed to supporting and encouraging the practices of visual artists at every stage of their careers in the development of new work through: 

- The provision of 31 affordable studio spaces in the heart of Portsmouth since 1980 

- An artist development programme strategically focused on supporting, promoting and advancing the ambitions of ASP Artist 

- Members and Associates 

- Gallery and resources, accessible to all ASP Artist Members 

- A Co-operative community of artist members 

- Culturally engaging with the wider community of Portsmouth 

Art Space Portsmouth embeds opportunities for artists in financial need throughout its programme and provision. Art Space Portsmouth is a registered charity committed to reaching these aims and contributing to the cultural ecology of Portsmouth and the surrounding regions. 

## **ORGANISATION** 

The day to day running of the company is delegated to the Studio and Programme Manager (company secretary), who is answerable to the Board of Trustees. Meetings are held every 12 weeks, whereby strategic issues, new projects and finance considerations are discussed. 

## **REVIEW** 

The company has operated during the year and has generated an overall deficit to carry forward. 

## **PUBLIC BENEFIT** 

Visual artists are the primary beneficiaries of the charity through the provision of low cost studios; however our other organisational aims, to promote learning and appreciation of the visual arts to benefit the wider public and local community are evidenced through an active programme of: 

- Open Studios 

- • Project activities such as mentoring and gallery exhibitions • Peer group support and networking • The ASP urban garden • Individual and group exhibitions • Residencies for artists at every stage of their careers 

All of these activities are fundamental to our charitable aims and clearly evidence public benefit. 

## **Reporting on Public Benefit** 

The Trustees have paid due regard to the guidance on public benefit in deciding what activities the charity should undertake, as issued by the Charities Commission; arising from the Charities Act 2006.

**REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - Continued** 

## **ORGANISATIONAL ACTIVITIES & ACHIEVEMENTS IN 2022-23** 

The following list briefly highlights some of our main organisational activities and achievements for the year 2022-2023. 

## **1. Gallery at Art Space Portsmouth** 

The Art Space Gallery showed work from various artists throughout the year including Stretched fundraising exhibition organised by studio Artist Kate Street, Open Studios off site members exhibition, 20 x 20 Artist Talks, Solo Exhibition by Ian Parmiter, Your Voice 2 Community Heritage Project and Soft Geometry Group Exhibition. 

## **2. Building Works** 

Building works with PCC continued throughout 2022-2023. 

## **3. Art Space Beyond the Building** 

In the course of this year, discussions took place to consider the value of having STUDIO 1 as an initiative to provide a programme of residencies, activities and events to both enhance the artistic life of Portsmouth and support Art Space as an organisation and charity. Jeannie Driver presented proposals for this and in December 2021 she organised a Pop-UpShop which made use of STUDIO 1 and the Gallery space.  The initiative was well organised and well presented and enabled members to exhibit and sell works over a couple of weekends.  The Pop-Up-Shop worked alongside a V.I.P. event, also organised by Jeannie Driver where guests and potential partner organisations could enter into conversation about possible sponsorship initiatives with Art Space. 

## **4. Total audience numbers** 

It is extremely hard to quantify this. In 2022 -2023 Art Space Portsmouth activity is estimated to have reached a total audience of some 800 people in the building. This excludes the many thousands of people who visited exhibitions of work produced by Art Space Artists exhibited elsewhere in the region and country and those who participated in workshops delivered by our artists. It also excludes many thousands of people who saw our artists work through online exhibitions, talks and out social media accounts. 

## **5. Impact on Artists** 

Art Space Portsmouth has an active membership of artists; 31 studio holders and an average of 20 non-studio holder members in 2022-2023 that participated in their induvial projects, workshops, artist talks, residencies, and exhibitions both nationally and internationally alongside other organisational events. 

The following is a selection of some of the work Art Space artists were involved in – much more could be reported: Tapestry Weaver Philip Sanderson had a residency and exhibition at the experimental weave lab in London in July 2022. Artist Neil Taylor exhibited two pieces of work at Fort Brokhurst in Summer 2022, which was viewed by 380 visitors. Artist Naty Lopez-Holguin held a solo exhibition “Spatial Constraints and deviations within the box” at Arch Window Gallery, Isle of Wight in November 2022 where she created a site-specific installation in the high street which offered 24/7 exposure to those who might otherwise not venture into a contemporary art gallery. 

Artist Kate Street exhibited at Somerset House, London in October 2022 in a group show “The Horror Show”. Fine Artist Gillian Hawkins had a solo exhibition at West Downs Gallery, University of Winchester named “Facing the Day” in February to March 2023. 

Artist Adrian Mundy held an annual competition as part of his Little Forest Land Art Project with ceramicist Jan Griffiths We hold an annual competition, open to artists in Hampshire and the adjoining counties, to find a special artwork to display on their 4th Plinth during Art in the Garden. The winner of which was Olana Light, who became an Art Space Off site member to Studio Holder. Olana Light displayed one of her wearable Sculptures. Her work also included a short film, which has gone onto to be shown at other exhibitions across the region. 

## **6. Board** 

Steve Buggle continued the role of Chair until December 2022 when Tracey McEachran was appointed by the Board

## **Chair’s Report** 

Dear Members and Supporters of Art Space Portsmouth, 

As the newly appointed Chair of Art Space Portsmouth, I am pleased to present this annual report for the period from April 2022 to April 2023. This year has been one of significant change and development for our organisation. 

**Board Meetings and Transparency:** Our board of trustees met seven times during the year, maintaining our commitment to openness and member engagement. Continuing our practice, these meetings were open to all members, fostering an environment of transparency and inclusivity. We have ensured that the minutes from these meetings were made available to all members promptly, upholding our commitment to transparency and accountability 

**Changes in Leadership and Board Composition:** The year witnessed notable changes in our leadership and board composition. I took over as Chair on January 14, 2023, succeeding Steve Buggle, who I would like to thank for his dedication and contributions during his time as Chair. 

I would also like to thank our valued trustees Colin Merrin and Lynn Nicholls, who stepped down at the beginning of 2023. Their departure marked a significant change in our board's composition, and they leave with our heartfelt thanks for their dedicated service. 

Additionally, we extend our gratitude to Ally Ashworth, our former office manager, who resigned in January 2023. Ally's contributions were invaluable, and she was a great and continues to be asset to our organisation. 

**Current Board Composition:** The current board comprises dedicated individuals committed to the growth and success of Art Space Portsmouth. Anthony Cane, now our longest-standing trustee, continues to bring depth and continuity to our board. We welcomed Peter Dawson in the Spring of 2022 and Angela Parks in the autumn of 2022, both of whom have brought fresh perspectives and ideas. 

With the stepping down of Lynn and Colin, we were fortunate to have Evagelia Hagikalfa and Rachel Johnson, from our studio holders, join the board as trustees in January 2023. Their addition has been vital in bringing new energy and insights. 

**Collaboration and community:** From early 2023 we have looked to bring together the members and the board working together to ensure that Art Space Portsmouth continues to thrive. We ran two strategy sessions to map out a way forward, one in January and a second held at the Mary Rose in March. Both were well attended, and we will continue to run these events to bring the board and members together. 

**Office Management:** At the January gathering the Members and the Board agreed we would quickly look to recruit a new office manager with a view to find a second person to support the office manager as soon as finances would allow. Following an excellent response to our advert for an Office Manager, Myself and Rachel with the support of Eva interviewed 5 potential candidates, successfully engaging Kate Reid as our Office Manager and Steve Baker in a new role of Community Development Director. I would like to take this opportunity to thank both for becoming part of the Art Space Portsmouth community and for bringing their skills and commitment to supporting the Artist members and the Board. 

**Looking Forward:** As we move forward, we are committed to building upon the foundations laid by our predecessors. Our focus will remain on fostering a vibrant, inclusive, and creative environment for all our members and supporters. The changes in our board reflect our evolving nature as an organisation dedicated to the arts and our community. 

In conclusion, I would like to express my sincere appreciation to all our members, supporters, and the board for their ongoing commitment and support. Together, we will continue to nurture and develop Art Space Portsmouth as a place of artist practice and community engagement. 

## Sincerely 

## Tracey McEachran

## **REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES - Continued** 

## **FINANCIAL RESULTS** 

The net incoming resources for the year amounted to £9,871 (2022: net outgoing resources £28,729) 

This comprised a £9,871 surplus for the year attributable to general unrestricted funds and £0 attributable to restricted funds. 

## **INVESTMENT POWERS** 

These are governed by the Memorandum of Association which permits the funds to be invested in or upon such investments, securities or property as may be thought fit. 

## **RESERVES** 

Note 11 on page 14 to the financial statements shows the assets and liabilities attributable to the various funds by type, and also describes the purpose for the fund and summarises the year's movements on each fund. Unrestricted funds amounted to £54,418 (£44,547 - 2022) and restricted funds amounted to £7,799 (£7,799 - 2022) as at 31 March 2023. 

## **RISK MANAGEMENT** 

The trustees examine the major risks that the charity faces each financial year when preparing and updating the strategic plan. The charity has developed systems to monitor and control these risks to mitigate any impact that they may have on the charity in the future. 

## **TRUSTEES' RESPONSIBILITIES** 

Company and Charity law requires the trustees to prepare financial statements for each financial year which give a true and fair view of the state of affairs of the company and its financial activities for that period. In preparing those financial statements, the trustees are required to 

- select suitable accounting policies and then apply them consistently; 

- make judgements and estimates that are reasonable and prudent; and 

- prepare the financial statements on the going concern basis unless it is inappropriate to presume that the charity will continue in business. 

The trustees are responsible for keeping proper accounting records which disclose, with reasonable accuracy at any time, the financial position of the charity, and enable them to ensure that the financial statements comply with the governing document, applicable Accounting Standards and the Charity Commission's Statement of Recommended Practice 2000, the regulation made under Section 44 of the Charities Act 1993 and the Companies Act 2006. They are also responsible for safeguarding the assets of the charity and hence for taking reasonable steps for the prevention and detection of fraud and other irregularities. 

This report was approved by the Trustees on  21 December 2023

## **EXAMINERS REPORT TO THE BOARD OF TRUSTEES ON THE UNAUDITED** 

## **FINANCIAL STATEMENTS OF ART SPACE PORTSMOUTH LIMITED** 

We report on the accounts for the year ended 31 March 2023. 

## **Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner** 

The Charity's trustees (who are also the directors for the purpose of company law) are responsible for the preparation of the accounts. The charity's trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year (under Section 144(2) of the Charities Act 2011(the 2011 Act)) and that an independent examination is required. 

Having satisfied myself that the charity is not subject to audit under company law and is eligible for independent examination, it is our responsibility to: 

- examine the accounts under section 145 of the 2011 Act 

- to follow the procedures laid down in the General Directions given by Charity Commission (under Section 145(5)(b) of the 2011 Act; and 

- to state whether particular matters have come to my attention. 

## **Basis of the independent examiner's report** 

Our examination was carried out in accordance with the General Directions given by the Charity Commission. An examination includes a review of the accounting records kept by the charity and a comparison of the accounts presented with those records. It also includes consideration of any unusual items or disclosures in the accounts, and seeking explanations from you as trustees concerning any such matters. The procedures undertaken do not provide all the evidence that would be required in an audit, and consequently no opinion is given as to whether the accounts present a 'true and fair view' and the report is limited to those matters set out in the statements below. 

## **Independent examiner's statement** 

In connection with our examination, no matter has come to our attention: 

- (1) which gives our reasonable cause to believe that, in any material respect, the requirements 

- 

   - to keep accounting records in accordance with Section 386 and 387 of the Companies Act 2006; and 

- to prepare accounts with the accounting records, comply with the accounting requirements of Sections 394 and 395 of the Companies Act 2006 and with the methods and principles of the Statement of Recommended Practice: Accounting and reporting by Charities. 

## have not been met; or 

- (2) to which, in our opinion, attention should be drawn in order to enable a proper understanding of the accounts to be reached.
