Overview of 2021/22
The first year of operation was severely affected by Covid.
Covid had led to delays in the completion of major works being undertaken by Scarborough Studios Ltd at the Old Parcels Office Art Space. As a consequence of this Scarborough Studios CIO was unable to immediately move into its new home. It also took some months before the banking sector reopened to new charity accounts.
SSCIO eventually moved into the OPO and took over the management of the common areas, gallery/event space and learning space in September 2021. In the 7 months through to April 2022 the charity organised 5 exhibitions:-
October 2021 - Fire and Water – Solo Exhibition by Andy Dakin – 400+ visitors November 2021 - Passages – Group exhibition by Yorkshire Sculptors Group – 300+ visitors January 2022 - Red Door/Green Dress – Photography exhibition – 150+ visitors February 2022 – Material Matters – Painting and ceramics exhibition – 346 visitors March – OPO Open Exhibition (this show extended through to April) - 779 visitors
In addition, the Trustees worked with a local music promoter to put on a folk music night in November which attracted a full house and helped to raise money for the charity.
In December 2021 the OPO hosted an exhibition/installation by Steven Wintercroft produced by ARCADE which involved almost 300 people in community build workshops and was seen by almost 1400 people.
From January 2022 onwards the OPO became the regular weekly venue for 2 community choirs (total membership 51) run by the SJT.
Finance
In 2021/22 SSCIO’s income was £7,188 and expenditure was £4,182. SSCIO’s main source of income has been fundraising music nights and funding towards the costs of exhibitions from SSLtd.
SSCIOs expenditure has been associated either with fundraising or putting on exhibitions. In 2021/22 no rent was payable by SSCIO to SSLtd due to delays in opening the building. In 2021/22 SSCIO was granted 100% Business Rate Exemption by Scarborough Borough Council.
