Trustees’ Report

Structure, governance and management

Trustees are appointed by invitation, potential trustees being approached by the board on the basis of their qualifications for furthering A+C’s objectives. The names of the trustees are set out on page 5.

A+C’s governing body is a board of Trustees which meets approximately every three months. At each meeting, the Director reports to the Trustees on her activities in furthering the aims and objectives of A+C. Individual or small groups of Trustees may also work on specific A+C projects approved by the board; again, these projects are reviewed by the board at their regular meetings. The board may from time to time approve grants to individuals, for example for attendance at conferences. Where Trustees are beneficiaries of such grants these are approved by a majority of Trustees not benefiting from such grants, and only on such terms as are given to non-Trustees.

A+C also has a number of Advisers, whose role is to act as ambassadors for A+C and to assist in projects and events where they are able.

Periodically the Trustees review the risks faced by A+C. The main risk faced by the Trust is financial. The Trustees control this risk by ensuring that the cost of specific A+C projects will be covered out of specific funding. Where fundraising requests are made for specific projects any grants received are allocated to those projects. Any surplus for the year in A+C’s general funds is carried forward to meet future administrative or project costs. In order to give a reasonable amount of assurance to A+C’s employees, the trustees aim to have reserves or committed funding in place to cover the next three months’ costs.

A+C holds policies relating to equalities, safeguarding and data protection which are available upon request.

Aims and objectives

The Trust’s aims and objectives, as set out in its constitution, are as follows:

  1. To advance religion, by promoting Christian formation through engagement with works of visual art — works of art that foster greater Christian self-understanding, as well as those that facilitate encounters between Christians and those of other religious traditions and none.

  2. To advance the arts, by the presentation and promotion of arts, crafts and traditional skills in the field of religious art and heritage; and

  3. To advance education by organising seminars, conferences and other events to increase public knowledge and understanding of religious tradition (particularly, but not exclusively, the Christian tradition) through art.

In furtherance of those aims, the Trust focuses on the following objectives, as made explicit in its vision and mission statements:

Art and Christianity seeks to foster and explore the dialogue between art, Christianity and other religious faiths. Through events, publications and consultation, A+C offers

Achievements and performance

Education & events

The ‘Holy Ground’ programme of events which had begun in Autumn 2020 continued in February with a talk by the Rev’d Peter Blee about the experience of establishing the Cuckmere Pilgrim Path. Over 70 attendees joined on Zoom.

In April, the trust began a new fortnightly series of lectures on ‘Art in Cathedrals’. The five speakers were Rob Hawkins on Norwich Cathedral and its medieval bosses; Alexandra Epps on Coventry Cathedral; Dominic Wilkinson on Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral; James Crowley on Salford RC Cathedral; and Martin Crampin on St David’s Cathedral in Wales.

Also in April, the 2019 winner of the A+C Book Award, Ittai Weinryb, collaborated from New York with Neil MacGregor and Jennifer Sliwka in London, to present an online event that addressed the exhibition of objects of faith within museums and beyond. This attracted over 300 attendees and many gave donations towards the 2021 Book Award in memory of Graham Howes (1938–2020) who had been the co-founder and convenor of the Award.

On 16 June A+C co-organised, with Monica Bohn-Duchen’s ‘Insiders/Outsiders: Refugees from Nazi Europe and their Contribution to British Culture’, a full day conference on ‘A Jewish Jesus: Art and faith in the shadow of World War II’, held at St John’s, Waterloo. Timed to coincide with the campaign to restore the church’s mural paintings by Hans Feibusch (a Jewish emigré painter from Germany who painted more murals for the Church of England than any other artist), speakers gave both a broad context and detailed papers on the contribution of Jewish artists to Christianity in post-war Britain.

Over the weekend of 17-19 September, A+C organised an event to celebrate the completion of works to the church at Berwick, Sussex, including conservation works to murals by the Bloomsbury Group artists. The theme of Art, faith and the natural environment saw a programme of speakers address the way in which art within churches can draw on and be generated by the local landscape and ecology. Frances Spalding gave a keynote lecture on the Friday evening; on Saturday Louise Hampson and Nick Mayhew-Smith gave presentations about pilgrimage and creativity; the artists David Hensel and Julian Bell spoke about their newly commissioned artworks for the church; and Fourthland’s film ‘Call to Holy Ground’ (see Art in Churches below) was screened within the church. Attendees also visited Firle Church where we viewed John Piper’s Tree of Life window and on Sunday walked the Cuckmere Pilgrim Path which encompasses the Benefice’s 9 churches, led by the artist James Aldridge.

On 29 September, A+C co-hosted a free networking event at the Swiss Church in Covent Garden where regular artist residencies and exhibitions take place. Building on the A+C guidelines for temporary works of art in churches, attendees shared best practice, advice, inspiration and encouragement.

In October, A+C began a new programme of events under the title ‘Faith on Film’. The first event profiled Assembly , a project by the artist Julie Marsh with the Brick Lane and Old Kent Road Mosques. The architect Shahed Saleem chaired the panel discussion afterwards with Hassan Vawda, researcher at Tate, and members of the mosque community from Old Kent Road. November saw a group visit to Whitechapel Art Gallery where the curator of ‘Theaster Gates: A Clay Sermon’ guided us through the exhibition and film work. A December event was postponed due to the sharp rise in cases of covid-19 at the time.

A+C Book Award

Given this year in memory of Graham Howes, trustee and co-founder of the Book Award in 2002, the Award was presented on 25 November at the Swiss Church in Covent Garden. The judging panel, chaired by Lord Harries of Pentregarth (Richard) and joined by Jill Cook, Sir Simon Jenkins, Amanda Mbuzi and Mia M Mochizuki, shortlisted three books: Stealing from the Saracens by Diana Darke; Arts & Crafts Churches by Alec Hamilton and Visions of Heaven by Martin Kemp. They unanimously agreed to Award the prize of £1,000 to Alec Hamilton for Arts & Crafts Churches which they praised for ‘its careful scholarship, while being accessible for the general reader’.

Art and Christianity : A+C’s quarterly members’ journal

In our spring issue A+C commissioned the eminent art historian Stephen Bann to look back at 50 years of his art and writing practice in which he has foregrounded the relationship between place, words, forms and meaning. He also generously made available a number of his original prints, donations for which were made to A+C.

Highlights in subsequent issues include a further interview by Jeremy Akerman with a contemporary artist, the painter Paul Winstanley; Sharman Kadish gave an incisive overview of the new Jewish Museum in Manchester with its inaugural art installation by Laure Prouvost; Rey Conquer delved into the National Gallery’s Dürer exhibition and we published Deborah Lewer’s interview with Rowan Williams held at the first Association of Art Historians Festival.

Although galleries were closed under the government’s covid restrictions from January to May, Anna Moszynska reviewed the major 800[th] anniversary exhibition at Salisbury Cathedral in the Spring issue and reviews of gallery exhibitions from May onwards included Moriah Ogunbiyi on ‘An Ode to Afrosurrealism’, Tijana Zakula on ‘Mary Magdalene’ in Utrecht and Christopher Irvine on ‘John Nash: The Landscape of Love and Solace’. A+C published book reviews by Diana Coulter, Ayla Lepine, Sheona Beaumont, William Whyte, Richard S Vosko, David Jasper, Joseph Masheck and Kirsten Kennedy

A new regular column – ‘Spotlight on art’ – was established to give in-depth attention to a work of art from the last 50 years that might have new resonance and relevance in today’s cultural outlook.

Art in Churches: Holy Ground, Leytonstone

Between 17 May and 24 July, A+C’s Art in Churches project ‘A Call to Holy Ground’ offered the public sculptural installations at both St Andrew’s Church, Leytonstone and the nearby Shri Nathji Sanatan Hindu Temple, a sound walk and a 20 min film on view in the church. The Mayor of Waltham Forest attended the launch and spoke movingly of how, as a woman of colour and of faith, she recognised the importance of allowing faith communities to share their beliefs in a creative and inclusive way. The local councillor, Shabana Dhedhi, was equally supportive and the London Borough of Waltham Forest gave a £2,400 ward-funding grant towards the project. The Vicar of St Andrew’s made possible four Sunday evening screenings and performances related to the project, which took place in the church. Attendees were from both local and more distant communities and included the Waltham Forest Women’s Interfaith Network. Overall audience figures for both live and online/broadcast/in writing far exceeded our expectations (estimated at over 300,000). The commitment and interest of everyone involved is a testament to the participatory process.

The project had a very positive impact on both places of worship and their wider communities. This was reflected in the range of promotional social media posts and inclusions in newsletters across different audiences. At the launch event, the chair of the Shri Nathji Sanatan Temples (both the Leytonstone branch and the main Temple in Wembley) suggested that this owed much to the learning and mutual respect upheld by the Faith and Friendship Group since the early 2000s.

The Vicar of St Andrew’s Church welcomed the many visitors to the exhibition in the church, including members of the press, and felt the project and laid down a good model for community initiatives.

Annual Report for the 12 months from 1 January – 31 December 2021

One immediate spin-off was an invitation from the Barbican’s Communities & Neighbourhoods Team for A+C and Fourthland to show ‘Call to Holy Ground’ as part of its Leytonstone Loves Film Festival, 15 – 19 September 2021. Two showings took place, with an essay hand-out written by Rosalind Parker, who read it aloud before the performance began. Parker and the artist also guided four sound walks during the festival between the church and temple, and the Barbican undertook a podcast interview with Fourthland.

A+C support

In July we invited our Benefactors and Patrons to a tour of Guildford Baptist Church, winner of the 2019 A+C Art Award. We were warmly welcomed, shown new developments and given a sit-down lunch. Events of this kind help grow support for A+C, and membership has also risen to around 400 members, a 25% rise in the last couple of years. The grant-funding climate remains highly competitive and hard to secure. In August 2021, the Arts Council turned down a large funding application from A+C developed with Canterbury, Coventry and Bristol Cathedrals to exhibit works by the South African artist Mohau Modisakeng. The bid will be submitted again after encouraging feedback from an ACE advice-worker.

Financial review

The Trust saw a deficit of £4,622 for the period. (Restricted deficit of £584 and unrestricted deficit of £4,039). Details of the results for the year are set out in the accounts on pages 7 to 15. At the balance sheet date the Trust had net assets of £14,929 (all of which is unrestricted). The Director and Trustees continue to make concerted efforts to secure funding for its projects and programmes while also inviting support from individual donors. The charity aims to have unrestricted reserves of 3 months of unrestricted expenditure which would be around £11k based on 2021 expenditure. At the end of 2021 unrestricted reserves were at £14k.

4 Income from A+C activities

All the income shown under this heading in the Statement of Financial Activities is in relation to activities in furtherance of A+C’s objects – rather than activities specifically designed for raising funds. Such activities fall into three catergories:

a) Where possible and appropriate, A+C charges admission fees for the lectures, workshops and conferences which it organises.

b) A & C charges a non-refundable entrance fee in respect of the A+C awards as a contribution towards the cost of administering the awards. These awards didn't take place in 2020.

c) A+C receives small amounts of sales revenues from various sources:

5 Cost of generating voluntary income

The amounts shown as the costs of generating funds (£1,782) represents principally the allocation of staff (£1,108- note 9) and other management costs (£674- note 7) relating to the time spent researching and writing to grant-making bodies, and in respect of administering the database of A+C membership.

The A+C Art in Churches project is designed to promote art and exhibitions in churches by facilitating contact between artists and churches, enabling works of art to be exhibited temporarily or permanently. The Trust also oversees the development into broader strategies like touring exhibitions, community engagement and formulating a network of faith groups and organisations.

This means that of the £7,131 of staff costs and other core costs allocated, a total of £916 has been set against restricted funds in 2021 (see note 11 for details).

Independent examiner’s report to the Trustees of Art & Christianity

I report on the financial statements of the Charitable Incorporated Organisation(CIO) for the period ended 31[st] December 2021, which are set out on pages 7 to 14.

Respective responsibilities of trustees and examiner

The CIO’s trustees are responsible for the preparation of the financial statements. The trustees consider that an audit is not required for this year under section 145 of the Charities Act 2011 (the 2011 Act). I am qualified to undertake the examination by being a qualified member of the Chartered Institute of Certified Accountants

This report, including my statement, has been prepared for and only for the CIO’s trustees as a body. My work has been undertaken so that I might state to the CIO’s trustees those matters that I am required to state to them in an independent examiner’s report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, I do not accept or assume responsibility to any other than the CIO and the CIO’s trustees as a body for my examination work, for this report or for the statements that I have made.

Basis of independent examiner’s report

My 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 CIO 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 statement below.

Independent examiner’s statement

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