## **3 OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES** 

Sidmouth School of Art was set up in response to identifying a local need for increased opportunities to advance the appreciation of and education in the arts and culture for public benefit. 

Sidmouth School of Art was established to nurture creativity, health and wellbeing in individuals, the community and the wider public, through engaging with art and culture.  The Founders envisaged that the CIO would facilitate art projects and create collaborative cultural opportunities designed for people to flourish. 

Sidmouth School of Art is a Charitable Incorporated Organisation and its objects are:

## **4 DELIVERABLES AND OUTCOMES** 

## **Increasing Participation and Making an Impact** 

Sidmouth School of Art, working in partnership with Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub, has focused on increasing participation and creating new places and spaces for public art. 

Through a range of projects: 

## **1. Sidmouth Makes Art (SMArt)** 

## **2. Sidmouth Wallspace** 

## **3. Wake Up and Smell the Coffee and** 

## **4. The Winter Lights Festival** 

described in this section, SSA demonstrates how it is delivering its charitable objects. 

## **4.1 SMART** 

Year 1 of a 2-year Sidmouth Makes Art (SMArt) initiative, was developed by engaging with the community to identify gaps and opportunities for more people to engage in creative activities.  The purpose was to provide widespread access to art as a means to enhance wellbeing. 

The project aimed to support, encourage and facilitate cultural activity in the community to positively benefit health and wellbeing and foster connections with our coastal environment and our sense of identity with the place we live in is. This multifaceted project aims to create 7 new creative public spaces with new artwork and installations.

Sidmouth School of Art provided match funding for the project which was joint funded by Arts Council England, Sid Vale Association, East Devon National Landscapes, Sidmouth Town Council and The Arts Society Sidmouth. 

## **Sidmouth Festival of Flags (SMArt)** 

32 Community groups and schools in Sidmouth took part in the first year of this public art project. Together we created and displayed these newly designed banners throughout the summer season for all to enjoy.  Through this collaboration we are making Sidmouth the artwork and inspiring the community to get creative.

## **Riverside Walkway Revitalised (SMArt)** 

Work commenced on the public walkway from the Ham playpark to Alma Bridge that was once unloved, to create a new outdoor gallery along the riverside and a brass rubbing trail, plus new railings, lighting, seating, planters and signage. 

Public print workshops led by Printmaker Emma Molony were delivered to 40 children and families plus 90 year 7,8, and 9s at Sidmouth College, and two workshops with Sidmouth’s Memory Café.

## **The Peace Garden Mural (SMArt)** 

Led by mural artist Sophie Larter, this project's focus was on what Dissenter of Sidmouth means to people as their community venue.  With the aim of crafting permanent artwork that resonates with the themes of kindness and compassion, a series of participatory workshops involving 20 user groups of the Dissenter Sidmouth was delivered and a collaborative new mural created.

## **One Day Museum Workshops (SMArt)** 

Workshops attended by children, young people and adults from age 6 to 69 years provided inspiration, context and permission to play.  Participants came along with a selection of items for temporary display in the One Day Museum led conceptual artist David Bellingham, to rethink how we relate to 'things'. 

Everyday things, cherished, loved, unloved, lost and found things, things of beauty and not so, things with purpose or repurposed. The project culminated in the public exhibition of the items and their stories held at Kennaway House.

## **Museums of Contemporary Art and Antiquities (SMArt)** 

Sidmouth's town square is home to two iconic red telephone boxes. Both have been repurposed by Sidmouth School of Art to add a new cultural dimension to this busy part of town. Now _ying_ and _yang_ art spaces for 'old' objects/artworks of curiosity and 'new' mini contemporary artworks. 

During this reporting period we have delivered 8 exhibitions or 4 twin installations, in the phone boxes working with a variety of artists and local groups: Wilfrid Wood’s Holiday Makers, Pelham Puppets with Sidmouth Toy Museum, Witches Away and Witches Present, Triton and Reflections on the Sea, Ring Ring/Beep Beep with David Bellingham and One Day Museum Participants.

## **4.2 SIDMOUTH WALLSPACE** 

Wallspace continues to be a key project in which an unloved wallspace overlooking a public car park which was turned into a public gallery available to view by the whole community and visitors to Sidmouth. 

Wallspace projects are often multigenerational though our priority focus is on young people in Sidmouth to increase their participation in and access to art and creative activities. This responds both to the challenges for schools in delivering art education and to the opportunity to take a more experimental and expressive approach to building creative skills with young people outside of a national curriculum framework. 

During the period July 23 to July 24 6 x Sidmouth Wallspace artworks were delivered: View From Peak Hill, Quiet Morning on the Axe, Sidmouth Beauty Spots, Priceless, Celebrating Volunteers and Holiday Makers of Sidmouth. 

4 of the 6 Wallspaces were part of the Sidmouth Makes Art project in partnership with Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub CIC.  Local and national artists Wilfrid Wood, David Bellingham, Bob Reynolds, Tara Greifenberg, eARTh Vader, Ann Nolan and Victoria Goodman were featured.

Examples of public participation through our Wallspace project included Celebrating Volunteers. This digital artwork was the culmination of a series of creative portraiture workshops led by Artists Kat Heueston and Natasha Hayball, that sought to understand the diversity of volunteering and what those giving their time felt. Volunteers had the opportunity to be artists and learn new skills or become the artists’ model, in a series of artist led workshops for adults and young people. Through this process local participants were able to develop new skills and creative confidence. 

Another example of community involvement process was the Holiday Makers of Sidmouth – inspired by Wilfrid Wood’s wallspace using plasticine head sculptures followed by a series of adult and young people’s public sculpture workshops delivered by Wilfrid Wood.

## **4.3 WAKE UP AND SMELL THE COFFEE** 

Art, entrepreneurship and building confidence for life are integral to a hopeful future. Working with Meraki Arts School and Sidmouth-based Buzz Coffee, Sidmouth School of Art developed an innovative joyful collaboration to empower young people aged 13 to 16, to create a new artwork as part of a creative and employment skills project.  This project was funded by a grant from The Norman’s Family Charitable Trust. 

Everyone had a go at coffee making, trained in barista skills as well as learning new art techniques, building confidence and skills and belief in yourself.  We made many connections between the skills of an entrepreneur and those of an artist from marketing and maths to history and geography - we noted that sometimes these subjects don't connect with everyone until in a real-life setting. 

With the artwork on permanent display at Buff Coffee cafe, it is seen by lots of people.  The chance to exhibit the work values the hard work and commitment every young person demonstrated and generated pride and self-belief. Young people involved told us 

“It’s been really fun working with established artists Steve and Chloe.” 

“Apart from art it’s also been about developing social skills with art.” “I’ve learnt how to work in a team more. And I’ve also learnt how to work on a bigger scale.”

## **4.4 THE WINTER LIGHTS FESTIVAL** 

During February 2024 Sidmouth School of Art presented this new event with light sculptures, projections and community light art installations where the Byes, the River Sid and the sea merge. 

The lights festival aimed to provide a celebration of emerging from the dark of winter into the hopeful light of springtime, rallying around the theme of **S** ave **O** ur **S** eas. 

This low carbon free community festival featured a trail of light installations highlighting an aspect of environmental sustainability and made using recycled materials.  The festival exhibition was designed and curated by experienced lighting artist Zac Greening (aka GREENING THE EArtH). 

Each artwork's narrative highlighting our unique coastal environment and the need to protect it.  The focus was on art activism and the importance of looking after our seas for the future. 

The public event was funded through sponsorship and a grant from East Devon District Council. 

Workshops were held at Sidmouth College and Sidmouth Primary School with children and young people creating lighting sculptures and photography installations for the event.  Sidmouth Primary School created a Message In A Bottle exhibition which invited people to add their message in a bottle to the light sculpture to share their concerns about the state of our oceans. Save Our Seas (SOS) messages were received during the festival and sent to local decision makers including MPs, town and district councillors. 



87 Save Our Seas messages were received into the SOS installation.

Sidmouth School of Art Trustees Annual Report July 23 to July 24 



Sidmouth School of Art’s website continues to house the art works created through our projects in order to create opportunities to exhibit the artworks created and to grow the digital reach of our work.  A monthly e-newsletter was established in June 2022, with distribution by mid ‘24 grown to over 200 contacts. 

A partnership framework under the guidance of Tozers, solicitors with charity sector experience, guides partnership working ensuring that risks of partnerships are minimised through careful management of relationships and ensuring that work delivered in partnership is in line with Sidmouth School of Art charitable objects. 

The SMArt project has been pivotal in continuing to grow and foster a positive reputation for producing quality public artworks accessible to local residents and visitors and providing opportunities to get involved as volunteers, participants, artists contributing to the breadth of work and variety of mediums used and skills imparted. 

The success of Sidmouth Wallspace as an outdoor public artspace beyond museums and galleries, free to access and open to all remains a key focus to continue innovating new wallspace projects helping to achieve our objectives.

## **8 FUTURE PLANS** 

Sidmouth School of Art plans for the third year of operation since gaining Charity status are to recruit an additional Trustee with finance and funding experience in order to support fundraising and grants income. 

SSA will continue to stay relevant and connected with local concerns about climate change and environmental issues affecting the river, coast and sea. We will prioritise collaboration with other community groups to ensure our work continues to be multimedia, multigenerational and seeks to involve many Sidmouth residents through inclusive participatory projects. 

Building on the success of the SMArt project to date, SSA will continue to support the project in its 2[nd] year in support of our charity aims and objects. This will continue to build participation and in particular deliver young people focused activities. 

Additional art spaces for public art and workshops are in development working with Sidmouth Coastal Community Hub to develop a new community art and cultural space and an outdoor gallery space in the Sensory Garden, Sidmouth. 

An integrated online shop facility to aid fundraising through sales of art prints and Sidmouth School of Art products became fully operational. We hope to create more artwork products and to run ongoing promotional campaigns. 

Ongoing work to develop an impact framework to improve ability to evidence impact and outcomes continues.  Projects are individually developed and applications made where projects align with funder criteria. Grant funding will continue to be sought to support new projects. 

Trustees acknowledged that the funding climate for arts projects is challenging and the effects of the global pandemic and the cost-of-living crisis and its impact on public funding continue to increase competition for grants. 

A strategic fundraising plan to support the charity ’ s journey to financial sustainability was developed in tandem with the building of a new supporter’s programme aiming to increase donations. SSA aims to develop a campaign to share the supporters programme as an additional income stream. 

We will continue to develop new activities, seek to raise funds, build relationships and create new collaborations to continue to deliver our vision in the coming year.
