The trustees have adopted the provisions of Accounting and Reporting by Charities: Statement of Recommended Practice applicable to charities preparing their accounts in accordance with the Financial Reporting Standard applicable in the UK and Republic of Ireland (FRS 102) (effective 1 January 2019).

OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIES
Objectives and aims
Crate is an artist-led organisation based in East Kent supporting contemporary visual artists' research and practice. Crate promotes critical debate and the exchange of ideas without prescribed outcomes.

The building combines studio space and project space and is designed to give artists access to dedicated, affordable space for experimentation, production, documentation and research.

The Charitable objectives are:

1. To relieve financial hardship among people living or working in East Kent by providing such persons with affordable studio and project space which they could not otherwise afford through lack of means.

2. To advance the education and appreciation of contemporary art by providing seminars, workshops and exhibitions, and by providing opportunities for critical debate and professional development.

The Charity's objectives are for the benefit of the public, in particular members of the art community in Thanet and East Kent.

ACHIEVEMENT AND PERFORMANCE
Charitable activities and professional development
UCA/CRATE Graduate Award

CRATE in partnership with UCA Canterbury offers fine art graduates a place of research, production and display with mentoring sessions to realize a public outcome. This award provides time, space and support to develop new work, seen as a bridge between education and self-directed practice. The award was project-managed by Steve Alan and Frankie Brown (Past recipient of Crate/UCA Grad Award). Rosalind Russell, Sam Vilanova (Past recipient of Crate/UCA Grad Award) and Coral Pryke-Syrett (Past recipient of Crate/UCA grad award) acted as mentors for the students with an emphasis on sculpture and installation based art.

Following on from the success of the seven previous years awards, Crate drew up a longlist and invited seven graduates to apply, CRATE and UCA offered the Graduate Award to two Students:-

Antonia Hazelwood
Eunice Lo

This year's grad award residency programme felt more of a return to previous pre-covid residencies with both artists making full use of the physical space of the project space. They were well supported by the previous residency grads. Both artists' practices were deeply rooted in material and place. Eunice Lo's more immediate response to being and working in Margate, and Antonia's more reflective and contemplative aesthetic of painting were both strong in presence, and both artists projected a strong work ethic.

Antonia and Eunice supported each other well, in that they were there for each other throughout the residency, but they chose to present separate bodies of work.

Antonia Hazelwood continued her painting practice and presented a solo show of paintings whereby she presented her work as exhibition cum studio space. Her show was called "Works in Progress".

Eunice Lo's public outcome was also a solo show. Eunice had executed a series of actions involving the body and place within Margate. She documented these performances and they were displayed within the project space in an A/V and object installation environment. Eunice's show was called "One Minus One".

CRATE Curated Project Space Programme
The Programming Group, led by a group of local artists and studio holders are interested in creating a programme providing opportunities for meaningful engagement offering welcoming and generous opportunities for public engagement, as well as providing a platform to diverse groups.

The programming team consisted of Jo Murray, Ros Russell, Steve Alan, Frankie Brown, Sam Vilanova, and Coral Pryke-Syrett.

April 2023 - "Things I have learned the hard way" Lizzy Rose 1988-2022 . Lizzy Rose was an active and popular member of the programming team at Crate and before that at Limbo. She was also an OSE Alumni, practicing artist, and inspirational friend.

"Things I have learned the hard way" was a retrospective show of Lizzy's work that Crate supported through hosting. The show was project managed by Katie Hare, Matt de Pulford (Trustee of Crate) and funding and finance support was provided by Chris Yates (Trustee of Crate). The show spanned four venues:-Crate, Limbo, The Well Projects, and Turner Contemporary. Assisted travel was arranged for visitors to meet access needs. Much of the work was A/V installation work by Lizzy, with sketches, drawings, paintings, and project ideas.Funding was provided by Arts Council England and The Great British Sasakawa Foundation.

Alongside the shows there was a digital platform for people to upload their work about disability and chronic illness on "The Sick Artists Club Exhibition". This element of the show was project managed by Katie Hogben. This Project was made possible by the support and funding from Limbo, The Well Projects, Turner Contemporary, ICA, Wysing arts Centre, Shape Arts, and Arts Council England.


CRATE STUDIO & PROJECT SPACE LIMITED (REGISTERED NUMBER: 05163003)

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

A one-off event called "One day I will feel my power" was hosted at ICA. The evening showed some of Lizzy's films plus fellow artists and collaborators held readings. The event was curated by Leah Clements, and included contributions from R A Walden, Abi Palmer, Benedict Drew, Alice Hattrick, and Carolyn Lazard: artists who are friends and peers of Lizzy's, many of whom formed her crip artist community, with chronic illness, neurodivergence or disability central to their work.

Lizzy's worldview was shaped by her experience and awareness of the precarity of life. Whilst Lizzy's later work directly and politically addressed chronic illness, and how society deals with it, from the late 2000s onwards, Lizzy's work turned a sharp eye on 'hidden' culture, asking the viewer to take notice and showing how by doing so we can affect the systems we are part of.

The exhibition at CRATE explored Lizzy's particular affinity with whales - beings who produce highly treasured ambergris in their bowels, and whose beachings have been linked to the consumption of marine plastics.

Launch of Margate Queer Comedy Night. In December 2022 Charlie George completed a Residency at Crate Project Space in order to work on producing a Margate Queer Comedy Night for 2023. The Time and Space Residency was conceived by Margate Pride to support LGBT+ artists develop their practises and it was hosted and funded by Crate Studios and Project Space. The Launch night occurred at Whereelse with six LGBT+ comedians taking the stand.

June 2023 - "Art for everyone - a weekend dedicated to Access in Thanet". An unaffiliated disability awareness and arts ground called Access was formed at Turner Contemporary to advise the organisation on accessibility. This group curated and project managed a weekend of talks,walks,readings,and events dedicated to raising awareness on accessibility and the arts. The weekend was curated by Dan Thompson. Kate Kneal hosted a talk on embedding accessibility into arts management planning. Philippa Cross hosted a talk on how her organisation Talking Birds has worked on accessibility for the deaf community in theatre and their construction of The Difference Engine - a device to deliver captioned audio in real time. Margate history walker Lynn Jackson hosted a walk and talk of the rejuvenation history of Margate for people recovering and dealing with chronic illness. Dan Thompson ran workshops aimed to gather information and thoughts on producing an Access Manifesto. He also hosted an exhibition tour of the show at Turner Contemporary with a view to talk about barriers for people with disabilities in negotiating and dealing with the art world. Connor Sansby hosted a neurodivergent poetry event. Poets included Setareh Ebrahimi, Nina Telegina, and Ciaran Barata-Hynes. Lorna Dallas Conte and Amanda Bodemeaid held five coaching sessions with artists wishing to expand and improve the accessibility of their art outlet.

August 2023 - Crate programming team released an Open Call for artists and craft makers to apply to host DIY workshops at Crate. This programme was project managed by Ros Russell. The three workshop proposals that were chosen were:-

Beginners DJ Workshop run by Charlie from BeatsByGirlzUK. BeatsByGirlzUK are a Folkestone group dedicated to offering opportunities to women and girls to try out DJ-ing with the aim of increasing female participation in DJ-ing. Places were offered to eight participants to test out their DJ-ing skills on industry standard equipment and to receive feedback and tricks and tips.

DIY Patch and Flag Making . A textiles workshop hosted by Carla Knight. Ten spaces were offered up to people to turn their sketches into fabric art.

Photobook Making Workshop - hosted by Tomasz Laczny. A workshop where people were invited to bring their own resources with support in editing,storyboard narration, stitching, and binding to produce their own photo book.

Spare Parts by Frankie Brown, Annie Brown, and Zelda Solomon. A one day show of artworks, performances, spoken words and poetry, plus Zines.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

September 2023 - "To Be Continued - Residency Outcome" with Lolo Noble. Crate released an Open call called Model For Change for practitioners to take part in a residency whereby they studied Crate and its relationship to the community and proposed a way forward for Crate to change its programming values and objectives so that the larger community of Margate is better served. This residency came out of work done with Tonic earlier in the year whereby crate wanted to see what more it could do to expand its reach and to be more relevant as an agent for change. Lolo was selected from the applicants to receive the residency. They devised an open studio format where people were invited to speak to them and share ideas about a way forward for Crate. Lolo presented their findings in a creative and playful manner that challenged traditional forms of data expression. Much of the outcome was about how we could change our governance to make it more fluid and open to diverse participants. This would involve revolving residencies, art opportunities, and trustee participation.

November 2023 - Sunday Draw Community Exhibition project managed by Ros Russell and run by Geoffrey Chambers and People Dem Collective. PDC have been running a life drawing class, and Crate hosted their exhibition. Geoffrey Chambers also ran a life class in the project space. Alia Hamza curated the show, with support from Peter Nichols, and Jas Dhillon.

February 2024 - Anka Dabrowska Residency - Anka was with us for a week developing her Sea Shelters project. This is a continuation of research that began during her last residency in Margate.There was a public outcome/open studio at the end of her residency. The project focused on Margate's coastal path remaining sea shelters. The evolving role of the English seaside in the expression and repression of the body, gender and sexuality, with an emphasis on LGBTQ+ subjects. Focusing on the history of seaside shelters; their functions, shifting meaning, architecture, contributions to the landscape, vandalism, erosion, natural decomposition and destruction.

PDC - Peter Nichols and Sharron Harrison - invited children and young people from across Margate, Folkestone & Canterbury to share folktales, stories and myths from the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Africa, Asia and Europe. The children then produced artwork in response to the stories shared.

March 2024 - Access - Art for anyone - Access continued their residency from the year before in response to the feedback that they received from their Access Weekend and to launch the publication/manifesto that was produced in response to it. Workshops were held on "Grant Access Response",and "Writing an Access Rider". Both workshops were hosted by Connor Sansby. Connor also hosted neurodiverse poetry performances that included himself, Nina Telegina, Genevieve Pepper, and Claudia Volpe. The Art for anyone Access workbook was officially launched and publicised.

We supported two 2nd year UCA student groups in line with their modular requirements for their course.

Taking Up Space - presented the work of Lily Rudd and Sophie Chan.

In The Moment - presented the work of Ella Goddard, Katie Killick, and Susie Bear.

Crate applied for and was awarded funding from KCC's Art Investment Award. Over the course of the year we worked with Fox and Kit to produce a deck publicising our work and aims, and Lolo Noble to develop the website. We now have a beautiful new website to work from and promote our work.

Crate programming team would like to thank Rosalind Russell who managed most of the programming for this financial year.

Other Project Space Activity
The Crate Trustees remain committed to the project space as a flexible space provision for studio holders, and other artists.

June 2023 - Imogen-Naomi Herd presented a collage show The Lido is lost. Imogen's work reflects her neurodivergent brain, using fragments and colours as a means of translating her internal world externally. The exhibition is inspired by the contrasting comfort and terror of growing up in a coastal town, evoking themes such as memory, place, loss, identity, decay, separation and renewal.

October 2023 - Russell Chater - Flare - Across painting, drawing, print and installation, artist Russell Chater focuses ongoing concerns (transitional states; display and concealment; surface and touch...) through the materials and motifs of photography.

REPORT OF THE TRUSTEES
FOR THE YEAR ENDED 31 MARCH 2024

December 2023 - Loser Gang -"Not so Christmas Christmas shop" - Loser gang hired the space to sell their artworks for Christmas.

Grant funding raised for the project space programme provides CRATE with significant opportunities to fulfil its charitable objectives and actively engage in supporting innovative fine art practice.

There are a set of financial requirements and potential developments that CRATE has given consideration to over this year, and that the Board of Trustees will continue to give time to. These include: a strong commitment to provide low cost studio space for artists, the need to increase reserves to maintain and develop the building; the ambition to support fine art practice through an ambitious programme in the project space. How to balance these needs, and ensure CRATE has a long term sustainable future, is a major priority as CRATE moves forward.
