WORKPLACE FOUNDATION

We promote modern and contemporary art through our gallery and through exhibitions in particular but not exclusively in Gateshead, Newcastle and the surrounding region; and advance the education and understanding of the public in modern and contemporary art.

Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:

Spending has increased over the last 3 years relative to the previous period, despite a decline more recently
There have been no material income shortfalls in recent years
A significant proportion of recent income was derived from major grant makers
The Board appears to be well diversified in terms of age

Regulatory & Governance issues to consider:

The Board is predominantly male

Financial issues to consider:

A PartB annual return has not been required and so detailed financial information is not available from the online data
Income has been volatile recently
