In aid of the
Arts Club Charitable Trust and with the support of Robert Tears CBE
each recital
will be preceded by a glass of wine on arrival and followed by supper - 2 course
meal with wine. All the artists have accepted much smaller than usual fees for
their performances and we are grateful to them. The participation has been fixed
to £ 65.00 per person inclusive of service and VAT and include a donation of £
25 to the Trust or £ 600 per tables of ten to include a donation of £ 200.oo to
the Trust . Please make your cheques payable to The Arts Club Charitable Trust

The Arts Club Charitable Trust
The Arts Club Charitable TrustMany members may not be aware of the existence and objects of the Trust and other members may not yet have considered joining it and enabling it primarily to benefit struggling artists in all fields.
The Trust is a registered charity and so donations (a minimum donation of twenty pounds is currently required each year for membership) may be made under Gift Aid and legacies are free of inheritance tax. Its management is entirely independent of the Club and, although the Club appoints two members of the Trust’s Executive Committee, the majority of that Committee and its chairman are not on the Club Board. At the same time it is self-evident that the Trust’s objects are consistent with many of those of the Club and that it is hoped that publicity of the charitable work of the Trust will help promote the Club as THE club that all those interested in and furthering the Arts should aspire to join.
You have had the opportunity of seeing the results of some of the Trust’s activities at the exhibition of the work of some past prize-winners of its awards and we hope that many of you will feel inspired to give at least twenty pounds to become a member. We also hope that some of you will be able to help identify struggling artists in any field of the arts generally worthy of a boost who can be helped to progress with a grant of an award by the Trust. Currently the amount of money may seem rather little (the Trust cannot currently contemplate any award of more than a thousand pounds) but the recognition of the artist and the scope for publicity mean that a lot of good can be achieved even with modest resources. Do join us.
