## **FINANCIAL REVIEW** 

## **Reserves policy** 

The reserves are maintained and distributed in line with the charity's objectives and also the Memorandum and Articles of Association. The policy aim is to retain sufficient reserves to meet the cost of any regular commitments, approximately three months of ordinary overheads as well as a contingency to enable it to continue to develop further projects. This equates to £17,028 for the year ended 31 March 2025. 

At present, the reserves policy stipulates that the reserves should be unrestricted funds. However, because almost all of Market’s income is from grant funding, the majority of which is from Creative Scotland, almost all of Market’s funds are restricted to specific projects. The trustees and staff negotiated with Creative Scotland and confirmed that it was an acceptable use of funds to allocate a proportion of our yearly budget to reserves. A total amount of £18,164 was transferred into the charity's unrestricted reserves. 

At balance date the charity held unrestricted, free reserves of £19,757, the trustees are therefore satisfied that the policy is being met. 

## **Results** 

The charity generated a surplus of £24,813 for the year ended 31 March 2025 (2024: -£1,150). 

On 31 March 2025, reserves stood at £64,192 (2024: £39,379), with £19,757 of these being unrestricted, free reserves (2024: £845).

## **Report of the Trustees for the Year Ended 31 March 2025** 

## **FUTURE PLANS Upcoming Programme:** 

Having begun the MYF programme in earnest, Market Gallery looks forward to the coming 3 years of programming. We currently are hosting a 10-day long Reader Residency with Rush Johnstone, who we will be supporting to develop a sharing event in August 2025. We also look forward to supporting Ruby Allen / Bury Nella in developing a work for our Live Art Commission event later in August, a new experimental format for sharing nascent projects. Following this we hope to programme a set of events in early September to celebrate Market Gallery’s 25th birthday, whilst this is still in the planning stages our intention is to place emphasis on the next 25 years of Market; setting intentions for future committees and imagining new possibilities for the art world we would like to work in. Later in September we will also be hosting a Resource Library workshop. 

Having recently received approval for our Glasgow International 2026 project and award, we’re very excited to begin this year-long project with artist and The Camelia Committee, we will soon be meeting as a cohort 

for the first time and will be working towards an initial public output in October. 

## **Ongoing and future aims:** 

As a committee we have placed emphasis on the importance of connecting Market Gallery with the wider network of ARIs in Scotland, particularly those outside of the Central Belt. We plan to travel in our own time to visit some of these spaces later in 2025 and are also keen to invite their committee members to our 25th birthday celebrations in September and co-facilitate some form of ARI Symposium. Through strengthening these relationships, we hope to foster mutually beneficial and robust networks that both broaden our knowledge of artists and arts work taking place across Scotland and help us better resource and support each other in this work. 

Within the context of the ongoing genocide in Palestine and the intensification of imperial aggression from the Israeli state and its allies, as well as Market Gallery’s commitment to BDS and endorsement of PACBI, we continue to work / support work within the Scottish arts scene and beyond to resist imperialism. Through our ongoing relationship with Art Workers for Palestine and our participation in the CCA Liberated Zone programme in June we hope to continue to facilitate anti-imperial discussions and action. In this vein, we also continue to envision more ethical methods of data management and the creation of a private online server for the gallery, which the gallery aims to move toward in future. 

Internally we have spent quite some time giving careful attention to what it means to work collaboratively and horizontally as an ARI. We are actively developing working practices that are rooted in accessibility, openness, consensus, and shared passion. Particularly following our aforementioned sessions with Board Member we feel 

galvanised towards spending more time together to build a shared vision for the following year/s of our committee ship, finding ways to work collaboratively that hold each of our voices, needs and interests in a generous equilibrium. Working with and alongside the Programme Administrator Ane we are confident in our upcoming programming and our collective ability to deliver an ever broadening range of events, interventions and exhibitions platforming a diverse pool of artists and practices that we are excited by. 

**The future aims** of Market Gallery will continue to focus on maximising impact, sustainability, accessibility, creative excellence, organisational development and ethical working across our organisational mission to support emerging artists in building up their careers, professional development through paid opportunities and exposure in Scotland and internationally whilst engaging the community with a high level of artwork. 

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing document** 

The organisation is registered as a Scottish Charitable Incorporated Organisation (SCIO) as of 6 August 2015. 

Prior to that it was a Scottish Charity registered as a Company limited by guarantee with Companies House under reference number SC210837, and with the name 'Market G31 Ltd'. This company was dissolved upon conversion to a SCIO on the above date. 

The Board of Trustees is legally and financially responsible for the proper running of the organisation. The day-to-day management of the organisation is split between the Committee, who make the programming decisions, and the Programme Facilitator, who undertakes administrative work to support the Committee. Being a member of the Board of Trustees is a voluntary position. The Committee members are volunteers that receive a stipend equivalent to 1 day a week of work (this payment developed from the ARI research project “learning and archiving” fee). The Programme Administrator was a freelance worker, paid according to contract at market rates, until July 2024, when Market Gallery changed it to a PAYE position, to better reflect the permanent nature of the role.

## **STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT** 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new Trustees** 

The minimum number of trustees required is four. For a meeting to be quorate, a minimum of three Trustees must be in attendance. Appointment and removal of trustees is in accordance with the charity's governing documents which require that appointment is approved by unanimous agreement of the existing trustees and removal of any trustee by the unanimous agreement of the others. At each Annual General Meeting all trustees retire from office and any may be re-elected to the position by nomination and seconding from Members present. The Trustees meet quarterly with the committee in the form of a management group and hold an annual AGM. 

## **Daily Operations** 

The artistic programme and daily operation of the gallery is undertaken by the committee. Market Gallery runs a rolling committee with each member staying on the committee for a two-year period. It is the committee’s ethos to create a programming structure throughout the year and the committee meets weekly to organise this. 

Over this period, Market gallery developed a small and well-organised board of four trustees who work collaboratively with no set roles of chair or treasurer. The trustees are effective and responsive, however all trustees are working with a level of precarity and find it challenging to commit the level of voluntary work that the gallery would ideally benefit from. 

The committee remained a non-hierarchical programming committee of five practising artists. The committee prioritised care and wellbeing in their interactions and structure, leading to a supportive and thoughtful working group. 

The committee and board currently have very good relations, with the committee feeling well supported by a small but dedicated board and the board feeling committed to the development and curatorial freedom of the artist programmers. 

continues to develop the Programme Administrator role (previously called Programme Facilitator) which, as of July 2024, has transitioned from freelance into a fixed PAYE position. The role continues to be open to adaptation in order to stay responsive to the needs of the Charity. 

## **Recruitment and appointment of new Committee members** 

In advance of a committee member’s term coming to an end, the board and committee ensure that a call-out for a new committee member is advertised. Applicants are shortlisted and interviewed. The interview panel includes a minimum of two current committee members. 

## **Key management remuneration** 

From this year, the Programme Administrator role (previously called Programme Facilitator) transitioned into a PAYE position. The total employer cost relating to this role for the year was £18,724 (2024: £15,300). 

The Charity was operated and managed on a day-to-day basis by the committee of artist programmers and the Programme Administrator.
