Promotion of an exhibition of contemporary painting or other visual art, currently every two years
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that unrestricted funds are in deficit with a negative balance of £14,704, although the trustees have discretionary power to convert expendable endowment funds to cover this. The charity's total net assets decreased to £1,143,737 due to investment losses and expenditure exceeding income, but the trustees consider the present level of funds sufficient to broadly fund current operations.
