Leamington Studio Artists 2020 – 2021 Annual Report
With reference to last years Annual General Meeting Report, the general theme of the year has once again been one of ongoing disruption due to the Covid-19 pandemic. With Lockdown 2 in December making itself felt with renewed restrictions and ongoing impact on the local community and economy, the Trustees decided to close the Lodge until the new year.
CIO
The process of transferring to the new status is moving forwards slowly.
Exhibitions
We were able to put on an exhibition featuring the volunteers at the studio that was held from 5 – 27 September
Spa Stars
A local initiative by BID Leamington has recognised our founder David Phillips as deriving of being included in the Spa Walk of Fame. Congratulations are well deserved…well done.
Lockdown Art
Lockdown Art has continued throughout via the ‘Art in the Window’ display.
Membership Subscriptions
We have received 215 payments for membership subscriptions.
Summary
It is heartening to realise that despite all the negative effects of the pandemic, we as a group have managed to continue our task of maintaining a presence in the life and workings of Leamington.
Throughout this our studio artists have been ever present. They have continued using their studio spaces, making art and providing a small but important sign of continuity at the Lodge.

For assorted reasons, including the Covid 19 Pandemic (during which it was not possible to open bank accounts for charities) the completion of transfer of assets and liabilities was not finalised until June 2021.
