Section C Objectives and activities
The objects of the CIO are:
Summary of the objects of the charity set out in its governing document
To promote art with particular reference to drawing; and
To advance education with particular reference to drawing and by the establishment of a museum or gallery.
The purpose of the Centre for Recent Drawing ( C4RD ) is to make space for drawing. C4RD is a non-commercial curatorial space in London, for the exhibition of recent drawing and providing access and discussion for current drawing practice, and to foster the audience for drawing within the general public.
By maintaining the visibility of a characteristically humanist approach that is drawing – in the encouragement and refinement of the understanding of drawing, the arts and society at large can benefit.
Summary of the main activities undertaken for the public benefit in relation to these objects (include within this section the statutory declaration that trustees have had regard to the guidance issued by the Charity Commission on public benefit)
C4RD seeks to facilitate access, research and dialogue for current drawing practice independent of structural forces in commercial and institutional settings.
C4RD remains grateful to the many volunteers who assist in running the organisation.
Pursuant to Section 17(5) of the Charities Act and the Charities (Accounts and Reports) Regulations 2008, the Charity trustees have taken due regard of the guidance on public benefit issued by the Charity Commission when exercising their duties.
