WYPW was keen to develop its role as part of the Kirklees Blue Print and to continue its active presence in Temporary Contemporary. The Arts Council England launched its Let’s Create Strategy 2020-30 and our education and exhibition programmes, workshops, studios, Unit 2 and shop were full of possibilities, so many activities had already been planned and there was a feeling of excitement for the year to come. Then at the beginning March 2020 COVID hit, we had lockdown and staff were furloughed. This was the start of many zoom meetings and new ways of working. Our CEO, Julie GaskellJohnson worked very hard to keep up with a fast moving situation, finding funding through Kirklees discretionary grants, development funding from business rates and the ACE recovery fund. We got a nice surprise of a donation of £2,500 from ShareGift. We were successful in an application to be part in edition 2 of the Prosper North Programme, which has lead to in depth consultations which will give us direction and help prepare WYPW for the future. WYPW also had success in gaining funding from the Idlewild Trust to fund two printmakers internships. We welcomed Louise Adu and Hannah Mason as new board members early in 2020. A relaxing of COVID rules, detailed risk assessments and careful planning enabled the studios to reopen on the 1st June. WhatsApp groups were set up for staff and studio holders and for the board to enable better communication and support. The way everyone worked together, the supportive messages and thoughtful working practice was wonderful to experience. We saw further lockdowns which brought further adaptability in work practice with each challenge. Print day in May was cancelled in 2020, but Helaina Sharpley encouraged, studio holders and WYPW members to celebrate Print Day in May on social media. Online courses and the wonderful post box print club were launched, new course tutors were recruited to expanded our course offer and research of different education models and planning for the future have also been carried out. Online meetings with WYPW Education Officer, Caro Pratt and tutors enabled discussion of challenges, exchange of ideas, and valuable support during a difficult time for freelance tutors. Online 1to1 tutorial/mentorship sessions have also been developed. The members online group was launched by WYPW print technician Kate Desforges, this includes print demonstrations, information exchange and an opportunity for members to support each other. These sessions are worth the membership alone, a really good addition to our offer. The use of workshops was carefully planned and controlled and extra work had 4 to be done to make everything run safely and smoothly. A technician’s space was created and material storage was improved, we also acquired new letterpress equipment. At unit 2 the first exhibition after lockdown was the very moving and poignant exhibition _Becalmed_ by the winner of our national printmaking award, Flourish in 2019, Sue Baker Kenton. Simon Poe made a beautiful video to go with _Becalmed,_ which was put out on social media. The 2020 Flourish Award attracted applications from across the UK in all print disciplines. Despite COVID-19 restrictions, a very successful Flourish exhibition went ahead, along with a virtual tour, confidently and professionally delivered by Exhibition Coordinator, Martyn Lucas. Successful Zoom talks by four Flourish printmakers attracted international interest. The winner of the Flourish award 2020 was Lucy Mae Schofield. The exhibition took place in WYPW Unit 2 in Huddersfield, rather than the Huddersfield Art Gallery which is closed for refurbishment. This was the start of a highly successful series of artist talks, recordings of all these excellent talks can be purchased on the WYPW website. WYPW worked with the Council to commission artists to produce work as part of the HeART in your Town initiative, other collaborations include: the Children’s Biennale, WOVEN in Kirklees and unit two initiatives. We were able to appoint communications officer Jenny Weston, who made a big difference in out social media reach, developing videos and membership campaigns. Julie Gaskell-Johnson had planned to retire from her role as CEO in December 2020, but kindly stayed until we had got back on track after the initial COVID hit and WYPW had appointed its new Director Clare Alton-Fletcher. We owe a big debt of gratitude to Julie for her tenacity and total commitment towards WYPW, throughout the crisis and indeed throughout her many years as WYPW CEO, Julie contributed to our success beyond words. Thank you Julie. We give a very warm welcome Clare Alton-Fletcher, who has already made a great start and contribution to the WYPW story. We acknowledge 2020/21 has being a difficult and stressful year for everyone, and hope in some ways it has made us stronger. It has hastened technological development, focused our aims and objectives and extended our reach. WYPW needs to take on the challenges, to become more diverse and inclusive, to connect and to collaborate, to find new ways of working to embrace changes in the way we live and work. We must be brave and ambitious to take WYPW into the future, not with fear but with excitement, determination and I am sure the Board wants to say a very, very big thank you to all staff, their application, ingenuity and dedication throughout the COVID crisis has been impressive and is greatly appreciated. Thank you, amazing, hardworking, creative and innovative Kate, Caro, Martyn, Fabs, Nick, Jen and Josie, studio holders, members and volunteers, who with their generosity of time and spirit and hard work, enable us to achieve our aims, and more. Thank you to everyone who has supported us financially this year, Kirklees MC and especially to our major funder Arts Council England. The ACE Culture Recovery Fund was a great support and opportunity. We would like to extend thanks and appreciation to Denise Fahmy, who has 5 attended most of our meetings and has given us helpful, supportive advice, including much needed good constructive criticism throughout. Thank you to Kay Wrench, for taking the minutes at every meeting, it is greatly appreciated by us all. Thank you to the members of the board, you have all played a valuable role in the development WYPW, we found ourselves having many more meetings and working groups in 2020, everyone rose to the challenges and were very supportive and proactive. We appreciate all the time you have given and the work you have done on behalf of WYPW. To those board members who are standing down at this AGM, on behalf of everyone at WYPW we offer you our heartfelt thanks and gratitude. We hope you will continue to be a member and remain part of the WYPW family.

There was a short period in the Summer of 2020 when the workshop and exhibition spaces could reopen but otherwise the staff team were put on furlough for much of the year and on returning to work, WYPW pivoted its work to online delivery or socially distanced in person delivery. Despite the challenges, the team rose to the challenge and delivered a high quality programme of online talks, exhibitions and remote services alongside a reduced in-person programme in line with health guidance, as shown further in this report. WYPW met our financial and statuary obligations as an organisation throughout the year, despite the circumstances and the team pulled together throughout the lockdowns and covered for each other during the times of reopening to put the organisation in a stable and positive position for reopening from March 2021. ## **Cultural Recovery Fund** In the latter part of 2020, WYPW was successful in applying for CRF Round 1 funding and received £50,000 from Arts Council England. This was vital funding which allowed WYPW to invest in staffing, equipment and programmes to help the organisation recover. It allowed us to reopen with a fresh feel, accelerated our work in the digital arena and provided extra staffing in a difficult time to facilitate online delivery which resulted in an uplift in visitors to the website and engagement with our social media platforms. Thanks to CRF funding we were able to purchase a high spec laptop capable of editing and producing videos which enabled virtual tours of exhibitions, short promotional videos and improved online delivery for our second virtual Print Day in May event. We were also able to purchase a subscription to Adobe creative cloud giving us the software we need to design and produce digital 8 and printed content as well as videos. CRF funding enabled us to continue in our aim of reaching out to new audiences and provide remote learning to those unable to access facilities during lockdown and those in need of family friendly activities during a period of homeschooling/isolation. It enabled us to commission artists in the development of learning resources at time when there were few paid opportunities within the creative sector. It also allowed us to commission a local filmmaker to produce a promotional film of the Workshop, meaning that we were able to enhance our online presence with more engaging content and help show a broader audience what our organisation does. We also recorded a set of 'process' videos which allowed us to enhance our offer for our members and also for those attending courses at the workshop who may wish to revisit some of the more complex processes at their own pace. All techniques covered are difficult to observe face to face in a group so it is of benefit for this to be reviewed online where you can see the process more clearly. CRF also allowed us to boost some of our unrestricted reserves to help in 2021/22 when Covid-19 impact in courses, facility use and other income streams remains challenging. CRF allowed us to pivot work, sustain the organisation and improve our ways of working – without it, WYPW would be a very different place. It was vital and the continued efforts to apply for Covid-19 recovery grants continues to play an important role in helping the organisation get through a difficult time. ## **Arts Council Outcome 1 – Creative People (everyone can develop and express creativity throughout their life)** One of the key aims of WYPW is to nurture artistic talent and be a truly ‘open access’ print studio by broadening opportunities for people to get involved in printmaking. The need for creative escapism for people during a period of unprecedented uncertainty and isolation for many was met by some new programme activities > and projects by WYPW: **Development of Postbox Print Club** - as a response to lockdown and the lack of entertainment for families during a period of home-schooling and lockdown, a remote learning package was developed comprising of a series of practical printmaking kits developed by artists and containing a set of illustrated instructions. The kits provided an opportunity for creative activity at a time where entertainment for families was limited and were an accessible form of artistic engagement needed by many 9 as a form of mental health support at a difficult time. It also provided a way to engage with an audience beyond our usual geographical remit and provided a cheaper alternative to face-to-face opportunities thus providing an economically inclusive way to engage with printmaking. These were well received and are something we are continuing to develop going forward, adding adult learning subscription post box print kits in 2021. **Development of Professional Development service -** as a result of Covid restrictions there was an anecdotal sense of artists engaging in a period of self-reflection and evaluation of practice. During lockdown a Professional Development service was developed by the Workshop, with the aim of providing coaching and mentoring complementary to our already popular practical; 1-1 sessions. To date appropriately selected mentors have supported a number of practitioners eager to engage with a critical friend who can help them develop their creative approach and/or employment aspirations. An area we wish to develop further, it recognises and responds to the need for artistic community, peer and professional support often missing when working as a solo practitioner/printmaker. **Development of Online educational delivery -** Through the use of Zoom and the development of our education area of the website we developed our ability to offer online courses. These looked to build skills remotely which may translate and develop into working with a process at a physical print workshop thus potentially turning digital visitors into physical visitors either here at WYPW or through promoting further engagement at a local print workshop. This has an overall benefit to the longevity of our sector and the wider promotion of printmaking as an artistic pursuit. The online offer also provides those beyond our usual catchment area with the opportunity to benefit from the knowledge of our specially selected tutors thus growing the wider reputation of the organisation. **Member’s support –** As a response to Covid-safe procedures, there was a re-organisation of the print studios and implementation of covid-safe procedures including new online booking system. When restrictions were eased in June 2020, we re-opened cautiously to members. We re-organised the print studios in order to make members feel confident that they could use the studios safely - we restricted numbers by setting up a successful online bookings system, and we implemented stricter session end times to allow for post-session clean-downs. We also repurposed a studio space to make into a technician space, enabling social distancing for staff. All of these measures meant that for some of our members, we were one of the first places they ventured back to after lockdown, some even came to us before they ventured to the supermarket. 10 ## **Arts Council Outcome 2 – Cultural Communities (villages, towns and cities thrive through a collaborative approach to culture)** Compared to many visual art venues across the UK, we were relatively fortunate to present several ‘in real life’ exhibitions during 2020-21 at our gallery space in Huddersfield and Flourish as a touring show to other towns and cities outside of the Kirklees area. Around this we were able to build a more significant online offer which connected with wider audiences who could then meet and collaborate together. The shortlisting of artists for Flourish proceeded as an online selection by three judges (Grant Scanlan, Bronwen Sleigh and Stephen Snoddy). We had been thinking about extending our online activity for some time, and the onset of the pandemic and the first lockdown in April 2020 forced us to take this step. Initially, we aimed to keep our profile active while our premises (print workshops, studios and gallery) were closed. We were able to promote each artist shortlisted for our Flourish Award on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter in more depth than we would do usually, while we waited for the chance to bring the physical exhibition together. We were able to go ahead with our Print Day in May and Open Studios as a live event online. It is always one of our busiest days each year, a time when visitors new and old are able to see our premises and take part in artists’ demonstrations and drop-in activities. Our online event offered a similar virtual experience with artists very generously giving their time and expertise. _So, we got to Scarborough at the weekend...the weather was horrendous but somehow great as we stumbled around the town...but yeh the exhibition...wow...it's so good...you’ve done a great job! And what a great space / place._ Visitor to Woodend, 2020 ## **BECALMED** by Sue Baker Kenton We were fortunate to be able to stage Sue’s exhibition at Unit 2 in Huddersfield during October 2020. A series of compelling prints centred around the human face explored notions of passing time as well as communication/isolation resonant within the context of a pandemic. Mindful of further potential restrictions to access the exhibition which might have happened and many people’s hesitancy 11 about ‘going out’, we built on the success of our Flourish virtual tour and developed a video of _Becalmed_ , with a voiceover narration by art historian and Huddersfield Art Gallery invigilator Simon Poe. His short text beautifully captured a personal point of view in response to the exhibition and gave a unique way in to looking at the show online. Sue also delivered an online talk as part of the programme. _Just to say thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to exhibit with WYPW. It's been such a positive experience, the gallery itself and to work with such a professional, interesting, friendly group of people. Really_ _brilliant!_ Sue Baker Kenton, Oct 2020 ## **PRESENT** Our annual selling exhibition in the run up to Christmas saw record sales across three outlets during November/December 2020. Physical displays were installed at Unit 2 in Huddersfield and WYPW Gallery in Mirfield, and an online gallery shop was developed to increase audience and sales. £4000 was taken in sales and 47 artists benefitted from us displaying and selling their work. ## **Arts Council Outcome 3 – A Creative and Cultural Country (England’s cultural sector is innovative, collaborative and international)** The huge hit to our income in the first months of the pandemic, and which to some extent still continues, is a real threat to our organisation’s survival. Not being able to run courses and artists unable to access our facilities has massively reduced our earned income. The Culture Recovery Fund, therefore, has been a vital lifeline for us and helped pivot to work online and one of our most successful online ventures were online artist talks: 12 After a series of online (via Zoom) talks given by the artists in the Flourish exhibition (which we did manage to present in Huddersfield and then Scarborough), we decided to programme a further series, ‘Talking Art’, from December to March. Artists with an established practice and a connection to WYPW based in the UK, Australia and Canada were invited to present. Funding from CRF enabled us to pay a fee to these artists and offer low price tickets to maximise the ability of people able to attend. We were able to take the risk that we might not cover our costs, but nearly 450 people attended the first 6 talks, and more have been able to purchase the online recordings via our website. We actually made a profit. CRF funding also enabled us to employ a specialist marketing freelancer which contributed to the programme’s success. The quality and success of the programme has encouraged us to continue: post-CRF funding and post-Covid restrictions. Whilst an online substitute for engaging with artworks in person is difficult to achieve, not much is lost from an artist giving a slide show and talk about their work via Zoom. The Talking Art series has connected people from across the UK and beyond during the periods of physical distancing. Each artist has given a fascinating insight into their work, attendees have been able to ask questions, and feedback has been overwhelmingly positive. First of all, I must shout a big "thank you" to Bronwen Sleigh! It is one thing discovering wonderful works on instagram etc. but quite another meeting the maker, which is all thanks to yourself and WYPW for hosting/recording the ‘Talking Art Sessions’. It was so inspiring listening to Bronwen, gaining a greater insight into her process and projects - just what we all need to help with motivation during lockdown. I haven’t seen any of the talks in ‘real-time', so was delighted to have found the recordings available online and shall definitely be signing up for more! (Talking Art customer) Thank you so much for coming up with the artist talks and setting up such an amazing number of fascinating speakers. They're so brilliant and it's amazing having the opportunity to ask them questions (lots of questions!). I'm so fascinated by the things that they seem to have in common despite their totally different techniques etc… (Talking Art customer) ## **Studios** Studios at WYPW remained full in 2021 and rent holidays were given to support artists in periods where studios could not be used in lockdowns and during tiering. Studio holders were able to come into their workspaces during certain times of easing and tiering and managed to work within the new Covid-19 restrictions implemented on site. Over this period some upgrades were made to the workshop which improved facilities for studio holders including: WiFi throughout the building, replacement security alarm, a full new H&S policy and procedures including fix and maintenance on the fire alarm system and damp works to the building. Studio holders have also been able to input into the premises options appraisal works which looks at the future needs of artists and studio holders using the workshop. The remains 13 a long waiting list for studios at WYPW and there is demand from artists for long term working space. ## **Finance and governance** Covid has greatly affected the artistic output and programming for WYPW in 2020/21 but due to securing CRF funding, utilising furlough, Covid-19 Recovery grants and business rate holidays, WYPW was in a relatively secure financial position. However, from March 2021 with the opening up of society and the withdrawal of funding programmes, WYPW may see a much tougher year ahead. “The coronavirus pandemic has badly impacted the UK cultural sector. Diverse activities from live performance and theatre productions, to exhibitions and galleries, have seen their revenues fall dramatically as venues have closed their doors and gatherings have been prohibited to maintain social distancing. According to the Office for National Statistics, the arts and entertainment industry saw a 44.5% reduction in monthly gross domestic product (GDP) output (according to gross value added (GVA)) in the three months up to June 2020 compared with the three months earlier, making it one of the sectors worst hit by the pandemic, as exemplified in the table below.” Excerpt from: https://lordslibrary.parliament.uk/covid-19impact-on-the-uk-cultural-sector/ 14 At 31 March 2021, reserves stood at just under c.14 weeks expenditure, unfortunately at this moment we cannot commit further income to reserves due to the current climate. Finances are shown within the financial documents as a separate document. WYPW continues to thank Tom Ratcliffe who acts as Treasurer on the WYPW Board. Co-chairs Clare Grace and Ian Wrench stood down at the AGM in 2020 and Hannah Mason took the role of Chair and continues in this role. New Director Clare Alton-Fletcher ## **2021/22** Going forward, the current venue continues to dominate discussions and the use of meanwhile space for our exhibition programme. This and the next NPO round will be addressed as a matter of urgency. In common with the rest of the arts sector, we will continue to face major challenges across all of our income streams with Covid still hampering our ability to generate income as precovid levels of participation have not returned. There are areas to be optimistic as membership numbers continue to grow at the workshop and grant funding will support a community and learning officer post to deliver outreach and wellbeing work with community groups, families and schools. The start of our Print Fellowship programme also begins in 2021. ## **WYPW Management Board – 2020/21** Clare Grace and Ian Wrench – Joint Chairs (Hannah Mason as Chair from AGM Dec 2020) Helaina Sharpley – Studio Representative Tom Ratcliffe - Finance Scarlette Averley – Studio artist/Printmaker/Member (stepped down Dec 2020) Dan Booth – Printmaker/Member (stepped down Dec 2020) 15 Jonanthan Hepworth – Researcher (stepped down Dec 2020) Saba Rifat – Printmaker/Member (stepped down Dec 2020) Ian Wrench – Printmaker (Ordinary Board member from Dec 2020) Clare Grace – Textile artist (Ordinary Board member from Dec 2020) Mike (Baz) Barrett- Digital photographer and film Louise Adu – Marketing Manager ## **WYPW staff team – 2020/21** Chief Executive: Julie Gaskell-Johnson then from February 2021 Clare Alton-Fletcher Print studio co-ordinator: Kate Desforges.
