Have you ever wondered what happens to your subscription to the Friends of the Whitworth, or thought about what becomes of the money raised by our sales of scarves, T shirts and cards?
Wonder no more!
As an organisation run entirely by volunteers our administrative costs are very low; some printing and postage (although we are trying to increase our use of email to cut costs in this area) and accountancy and other charges associated with the proper running of a charity.
Our financial priority, however, is to support the Gallery.
Since its inception in 1933, the Friends of the Whitworth has bought or contributed to over 1,000 works of art for the Whitworth Collection.
Among the works on display in the recent Cozens and Cozens exhibition were some of the earliest of those gifts. Study of a Tree, by Alexander Cozen, for example, was donated by the Friends to the Gallery in 1935. Among the most recent Gallery acquisitions is Bending, a sculpture from the Coronation Park Series, which you can see in the Park behind the Gallery.
Now, however, you can see a wide selection of works acquired by, or with the help of, the Friends of the Whitworth online. It’s easy.
