CHAIR CHAT
It is a pleasure to review the activities of CASW for the year 2013 and to present the breadth and depth of the work of the Society, all of
which is very gratifying.
The aim of any chairman is to straddle the fence of maintaining the culture of the Society, which has a history of 76 years since its inception,
whilst also allowing and facilitating the changes which are inevitable with the passage of time. Sometimes, it is important to forge a new path;
at other times, brakes are needed.
Changes occur in the membership of the Society as a whole and in the membership of the Executive Committee, both of which continue
to thrive and renew themselves creatively. We were extremely saddened by the passing of Ken Spurlock in December. Ken resigned as a Vice
President earlier in 2013, through ill health, and he and his wife gave the Society the generous gift of £500.
Our finances are in good health and further enhanced by the generous gifts of Sian and Rowland Davies, who gave £350 pounds to fund the
hiring of a venue for the Society’s Tuesday evening free lectures, which are open to the public.
The changes in the Executive are always a mixture of sadness at saying goodbye to some, and joy at welcoming new blood. You will find details
of these changes in the formal report. I thank those who have served so willingly and given of their time and energy and I welcome those
who are at the beginning of their work as trustees.
The individuals who make up the Executive bring and use their different skills to enrich the committee. Some contribute by organising tours,
lectures, advertising or publicity; others have particular responsibilities such as Secretary, Assistant Secretary, Events Secretary, Membership
Secretary and Treasurer, forming the Officer group. The Executive meets four times a year and is the ratifying body, but it may take note of
discussions which have taken place in the smaller Officers’ group.
The work of the Executive is to give you, the membership, educational experiences in the visual arts through organising tours and lectures.
This, in turn, funds the Society to fulfil its declared aim of purchasing art to enhance the experience of the public at large. I am pleased to
report to you the success of our educational, financial, social and purchasing ventures.

STRUCTURE, GOVERNANCE AND MANAGEMENT Governing documentThe charity is controlled by its constitution and rules. These were adopted on 8th June 1967 and subsequently amended on 6 June 1987, 25
July 1998, 5 June 1999, 23 July 2005, and 22 July 2006.
Induction of new trusteesNew trustees are invited to join the board by recommendation from existing board members and by nominations from the members of the Society in general. The board takes the responsible position of focusing on the skill set required to fulfil the tasks of the Society and how those are matched by prospective trustees offering their services.
The rotation of trustees takes place at the AGM and in 2013 the Executive changed with the resignation of John Fitzgerald and retirement of Alan Spiller, Madge O’Keefe and Jean Walcot. We welcomed new members; Sonia Davies, Philip Dixon and Arthur Parker. Dr Sandra Harding took the position of Vice Chair. New trustees are offered an induction to advise them on the responsibilities of a trustee, inform
them of meetings and convey an idea of the culture of the Society.
Risk managementThe trustees have a duty to identify and review the risks to which the charity is exposed and to ensure appropriate controls are in place to provide reasonable assurance against fraud and error. The board has, subsequent to the year end, taken out an indemnity insurance policy and
extended its general cover to take into consideration our extended activities and age of our membership.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIESObjectsTo foster and promote the maintenance, improvement and development of artistic taste and the knowledge and appreciation of the arts
among the people of Wales.
Objectives and aimsThe Society has the power to purchase contemporary works of art of accepted importance and to arrange for exhibitions of such works for
the benefit of the public and to present them to Welsh public charitable institutions.
OBJECTIVES AND ACTIVITIESSignificant activitiesIn 2003 the lecture programme consisted of 4 lectures, all on a Saturday. The Tuesday evening lectures started that year with 6 lectures on ‘The Romantic tradition in Welsh Art’. Now we present 6 Saturday lectures and 6 on a Tuesday evening which we continue to offer free and open to the public. This illustrates the increase in activities of the Society and also demonstrates how it fulfils the aims of promoting the visual arts as well as providing a platform for artists to present their work.
There is a large body of individuals, both inside and outside the Executive, who contribute time and energy to promote the aims of the Society in its educational and purchasing remit. The membership responds with committed attendance and involvement in lectures and tours. In particular, the lectures and buffet lunch held at Lisvane are favourites, such that attendance has to be restricted. It is important to recognise the long hours of work done by helpers to enable this success story to be continued. This event alone not only promotes the visual arts and provides an educational forum of discussion, but also serves a very important social role in sharing a common interest.
The CASW educational tours in Great Britain and overseas continue to enrich members’ experience of the visual arts.
A postgraduate student was presented with a prize of £1000 at the AGM.
Robert Harding has been appointed as buyer with the specific task of purchasing works which will be gifted to Paintings in Hospitals. That Charity holds a library of works which are loaned to hospitals and other health establishments with the objective of enhancing life as well as contributing to patients’ well-being. This project was funded by CASW in conjunction with donations from Gibbs and Morel Trusts.
In June 2013 the Society organised its first exhibition where members of CASW could display and sell their artistic works for their own benefit, at Y Galeri in Caerphilly with contributions from professional artists and serious amateurs. It was opened by William Gibbs.
The new website is operating and presents an attractive and informative face of the Society to the public at large.
We have been in discussion with Coleg Harlech to receive works previously gifted by CASW.
Relationships were established with the Contemporary Art Society, London, as well as local art organisations and museums. This is part of our outreach programme.

FUTURE PLANNING1.Budgetary Planning. We make provision for routine administrative costs, a student prize of £1000, the hiring of a venue for the Tuesday evening lectures, supporting and working with organisations such as Artes Mundi and the Venice Biennale, and a purchase fund. As at the 31 December 2013 we have ring-fenced £8000 in the purchase fund and understand we will receive a gift from Sian Williams of £1000 in January, so making a purchase fund of £9000 for the year ended 31 December 2014.2. A working party will be set up to explore how the £9000 might be spent. In the past we have appointed a buyer who has had freedom to make a personal choice. The working party will have the task of exploring alternatives such as the Society offering an award to applicants from museums which have a particular project they want help to finance.3. The discussions with Cyfarthfa Castle Gallery and Museum continue with a view to jointly producing an exhibition in July 2015.4. Work on the E-Journal is progressing. The Editor is Dr Sandra Harding with the help of Professor Tom Hayes as manager of the format of the journal. The Editor is collecting papers from lecturers with a view to publication.5. We will be redistributing the works of art previously gifted to Coleg Harlech and returned to CASW.6. At the Eisteddfod there will be a CASW prize which will be received by a local museum.7. We will make a financial contribution to Artes Mundi and we plan to work more closely together.8. Following the presentation of purchases at the AGM in July there will an exhibition of the works at Oriel Canfas for two days in August.
FINANCIAL REVIEWReserves policyThe charity regularly reviews its reserves levels to ensure they have sufficient funds to operate in the forthcoming year. They estimate this to be £25,000.
Investment policy and objectivesThe society regularly reviews where its cash balances are held to ensure they are maximising their investment returns.
PUBLIC BENEFITThe Trustees have reviewed the Charity Commission’s guidelines on public benefit and agreed that the charity demonstrates public benefit in a number of ways. They have been mentioned in detail in this report but can be summarised as: providing an educational programme of lectures on the visual arts (6 of which are free and open to the public), organising study tours of cities with major collections of art, supporting other arts organisations, offering a student prize and, most importantly, buying and donating art.
Statement from Trustees The summary financial statement contains information from the Statement of Financial Activities and the Report of the Trustees for the year ended 31 December 2013, but is not the full statutory report and accounts.

It was all going to be so easy. I was buoyed up by the success of the Prints for the Proclamation show that I had helped organise for the National Eisteddfod in December 2013. When Jean Williams, CASW secretary, caught me at the January AUR exhibition of the work of the Eisteddfod Gold Medal winners of the last 10 years, I had suddenly agreed to write this piece, without a moment’s reflection. Jean was aware that I had been involved in establishing the CASW National Eisteddfod Purchase Prize, which ran from 2004 to 2010 and, as the Prize is to be reinstated, a review from me seemed appropriate. Indeed, my vain and vague recollection was that the original idea had been mine. I also had a theory about the Purchase prize being a sound way to identify future Gold Medal winners. Wrong on both counts.
Going back through CASW Executive Committee minutes I found that Dr Peter Wakelin had suggested a possible Eisteddfod purchase prize, at a meeting in December 2001. I am sure that I supported the idea, but it certainly wasn’t mine to claim. I clearly took up the proposal, on behalf of the Executive Committee, at some later date, because by March 2004 I was noted to have been in discussions with Robyn Tomos, Eisteddfod Visual Arts Officer, as to the operation of the prize. We must have moved on reasonably quickly, as by the Newport Eisteddfod that year CASW had agreed a Purchase Prize with a limit of £2000, with the purchase to be chosen by the curator of the local public museum/gallery, to go into that collection.
The first selector was Roger Cucksey, Keeper of Art at Newport Museum and Art Gallery. Roger took the opportunity to add
to the Museum’s very fine ceramics collection by purchasing works by Walter Keeler and Melanie Brown.

Roger also started a slight trend of the Purchase Prize being used to buy work by that year’s Gold medal winner. Walter Keeler was awarded the Craft Gold Medal in 2004; Aled Rhys Hughes was the Fine Art Gold Medal winner and beneficiary
of the Purchase prize in 2006, as was Elfyn Lewis in 2009.

What of my theory as to the Purchase Prize being a way of identifying future Gold Medal winners? I have to accept that the CASW membership would not be wise to put all their savings on a Purchase Prize artist then going on to win a Gold Medal, but it has happened twice so far. Lowri Davies had work purchased in 2005, by Nêst Thomas for Gwynedd County Council, and Lowri was awarded the Craft Gold Medal in 2009. Peter Bodenham had work purchased by Lord Elis-Thomas for the Senedd in 2008, and Peter was awarded the Craft Gold Medal in 2011. Perhaps if you happen across Nêst Thomas or Lord Elis-Thomas at a future Eisteddfod exhibition you should follow them around the show, to see what catches their eye.

In the wreckage of my corrupted memory and theories it occurred that the purchased artists might be a source of a new angle, or even inspiration. Not all responded to my enquiry, but those who did made very similar comments as to the significance of the Prize, financially and, as importantly, in terms of getting their work into an important local and national collection. Walter Keeler seemed to put it best, about the importance of the Gold Medal too, so I reproduce his quote in full:-
“As an immigrant from England (we have lived here for 38 years now) it meant a great deal to me to win a Gold Medal at the Eisteddfod. I felt embraced by the arts community in Wales, and that I was making a significant contribution. The Purchase Prize was a welcome opportunity to have a piece of recent work in a significant public collection in Wales. It is always encouraging to receive recognition in a national arena, even as a very mature maker.”
And what about the views of the curators/selectors? I think the Society is entitled to some feeling of self-satisfaction. The Purchase Prize was well received (and I suspect sorely missed) as is revealed by the following comment from Hywel Pontin, Director of Llantarnam Grange Arts Centre and selector in 2010 :-“The Society’s decision to introduce this prize has been of immense significance to the visual culture and history of Wales, not only in the present but for future generations. The programme not only directly supports contemporary practitioners, but also enables their achievements to be
celebrated and appreciated for generations to come. The programme helps galleries and museums throughout the country build upon and strengthen their collections of contemporary work.”
“Nêst Thomas, Museums and Galleries Officer in Gwynedd wrote, “It was a wonderful surprise to receive a letter from the Contemporary Art Society for Wales inviting us to select and purchase items to the value of £2000 .... especially as we have no specific purchase fund.” She added, “the collection has already toured Gwynedd at libraries in Caernarfon, Bangor, Dolgellau and Blaenau Ffestiniog”
The Executive Committee’s decision to reinstate the Purchase Prize is important, for CASW, for artists and for the National Eisteddfod, particularly at a time of reduced grants and arts budgets, and some surprising sniping from Arts Council for Wales as to the quality of Y Lle Celf in recent years. The variety, year on year, in terms of media, themes and approaches is part of the Open Exhibition’s unique attraction, as well as the cause of occasional frustration. Long may it continue, in tandem with our Purchase Prize.

LEGACY BRIEFING
CASW promotes artistic taste and the knowledge, understanding and appreciation of art among the people of Wales. CASW principally fulfils these aims by purchasing works of art for donation to appropriate institutions for enjoyment by the public, and organising lectures and study visits in the UK and abroad.
A gift to CASW in your Will, will help to further fulfil these objectives and is an important source of income for the Society. Once you have looked after your family and friends, please consider a legacy to CASW.
Whilst there are a number of ways in which one can make a Will, CASW recommends that you consult a solicitor with experience in Will writing. A professional will ensure that all the legal formalities are correctly followed and that the Will is valid – giving you peace of mind that your wishes will be carried out as you intend. If you do not already retain a solicitor, ask family or friends for a personal recommendation. Alternatively, you can find a solicitor in your locality through the Law Society www.lawsociety.org.uk. Follow the links to Find a Solicitor. The Law Society will give you independent advice on choosing a solicitor.
More details are available on our website www.casw.org.uk
