East Side Print CIC’s aim is to promote the practice of visual arts, particularly screenprinting, printed textiles and photography to people and communities in East Sussex and beyond. We do this by: - Teaching a programme of affordable courses suitable for all abilities, from our studio in Kemptown, Brighton. - Running a membership scheme offering affordable open access sessions for people who want to work independently in the studio. Members also benefit from exhibiting and selling opportunities via our website and other projects. - Providing an outreach programme working with people in the community, particularly those who may face barriers to participation or who cannot come to our studio in Kemptown. From 1st January to 31st December 2023 East Side Print CIC delivered the following: COURSES & WORKSHOP PROGRAMME In 2023 we ran 40 courses, which included 23 short courses (3-5 sessions each), 2 Summer Schools (4 sessions each), 13 Saturday workshops, 1 family session and 1 bespoke workshop. In total we delivered 111 separate class sessions. 104 individuals benefitted from our course programme, several of those people attending more than one course, meaning that in total we had 149 bookings for our courses and workshops. MEMBERSHIP This was our third year operating, and our membership continues to grow, with 49 individuals joining or renewing as members and purchasing a total of 63 payment plans (42 x 4-months, 20 x annual and 1 x 4-months under 26). Members booked 419 Open Access sessions (3 hours each) in the studio - a total of 1,257 printing hours. In March we held a week-long exhibition of our staff and members’ work at the Fishing Quarter Gallery on Brighton’s seafront. The exhibition, called Serigraph, showcased the work of 10 members and 3 staff members, attracted 620 visitors and sold £1,400.00 worth of work. Both these figures exceeded our expectations and, along with the very positive response by everyone who took part, encouraged us to organise more exhibitions in future. In May we participated in the Artists Open House trail. We decided to break with tradition and open for one weekend only, with a private view on the Friday evening. We hung an exhibition of our members and staff’s work in our studio, had 301 visitors in total and made sales of £853.70. On 26th September we hosted a free event for our members to explore papers for screenprinting. We invited along a representative from specialist papermaker GF Smith who delivered a presentation about their range of papers, gave us a stack of papers to sample and a catalogue each, as well as answering our members’ questions. We hope to repeat this event in future and offer more professional development opportunities such as this for our members. In November-December we took part in the Press + Play Tabletop Fair at Phoenix Art Space over the weekend of 9th - 10th December, offering for sale the work of 17 members and staff. We made £681.90 in sales. OUTREACH PROGRAMME/COMMUNITY ACTIVITIES At the end of 2022 we were appointed Artists In Residence for Our Place: Moulsecoomb and Bevendean during the Brighton Festival in May 2023. Including the planning and evaluation stages, we worked on the project from January - June 2023. We worked with 10 community groups, Moulsecoomb Primary school and the whole of Year 7 at BACA secondary school. We facilitated 15 x community workshops, working with a total of 303 participants and creating 600 individual handprinted postcards, 12 hand screenprinted cushions for use in the community and 3 x collaborative banners. The end of the project was marked with a community celebration picnic and outdoor display of the work plus a drop-in workshop. 1 banner is now installed in Moulsecoomb primary school, 1 in BACA secondary school and 1 community banner along with 4 of the cushions is now installed in Moulsecoomb library. 303 participants March 2023: Screenprinting workshop for the Brighton College society. 8 participants March 2023: Drop-in workshop celebrating International Women’s Day for Brighton Dome Heritage, creating suffragette banner inspired screenprints. 38 Participants June 2023 - December 2023: Time To Create free arts and crafts workshops for adults funded by Sussex Community Fund and run in partnership with Brighton and Hove Libraries. We facilitated 18 free weekly arts and crafts workshops for adults and 3 community drop-ins for everyone, with a total of 135 participants. July 2023: Collage workshop for Team Dominica staff. 25 participants October 2023: B.Fest poster printing drop-in workshop at Brighton Youth Club. 29 participants Total participants we engaged with in our community activities: 538
We have four main stakeholder groups: - Our Committee Members, who help make decisions about the organisation and check we are fulfilling our community aims. - People who attend our courses - Members who join East Side Print to use the studio facilities independently - People in the community who take part in our outreach programme Our committee members received our regular newsletters throughout the year so were kept up to date on any news and our programme of events. We regularly ask for verbal feedback from students attending our courses and our members to find out how they experience learning and working within the studio. We send out regular newsletters to inform our stakeholders about work we’re involved in and also actively request feedback about the services we are offering and any aspect of the organisation. We gather written feedback from participants of funded projects. As a small organisation we can easily adapt to feedback and make changes based on this.
