VANSA Annual Report: CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT 7

CHAIRPERSON’S REPORT As the chairperson of VANSA over the past two years, I have seen and participated in some significant changes in the organisation that have tested the resilience of the organisation, and it is encouraging to witness how these shifts have sharpened VANSA’s focus. And it is now my time to step-down as the chair of the organisation. It has been my pleasure to serve the visual arts sector with Dee Marco, Nothando Mkhize, Songezile Madikida, and Tanisha Bhana. We will be bidding farewell to our current director Kabelo Malatsie at the end of the year, 2019. On behalf of the board we thank Kabelo for her dedication to VANSA’s mandate. We welcome Refilwe Nkomo as the new director in January 2020 and we wish her all the strength for the job ahead. In the past year VANSA continued to solidify the programmes to match the core areas of work, namely: Decentralisation, Study and Professional Access, as expanded in the current strategic plan. These programmes would not be possible if we didn’t have the invaluable support from our partners, some which have been consistent in supporting the work of VANSA over the years. On a final note I would like to salute our members and to remind everyone that the work we do is for you, as the sector that gave birth to this organisation, thus VANSA exists because you saw the need for such an organisation. Bandile Gumbi


8 VANSA Annual Report: DIRECTOR’S REPORT

DIRECTOR’S REPORT The 2018/2019 financial year (from June 2018–May 2019) has been one of continuation and stabilising, even in the midst of change. This financial year continues the 5-year strategic plan of the three-pronged approach of the organisation; Members – placing our members and member engagement at the centre of all projects; Programmes – simplifying project structure into three main areas with a multi-year approach and Revenue generation – growing our revenue generating offering and slowly building stronger financial stability for VANSA. We continued with the focus for the organisation on three primary areas: 1. DECENTRALISATION – while having consistently been part of the VANSA agenda – decentralisation’s new approach is to support existing work in the region rather than develop its own programmes and therefore work closely with existing membership. This programme area is membership driven. 1. STUDY integrates learning from members and others to better develop VANSA processes and programmes, and encourages self and co-learning for creative practitioners and for the organization itself. This serves as the key evaluative core of the organisation. 1. PROFESSIONAL ACCESS like Decentralisation, is a membership driven area of work in which VANSA continues to provide services and opportunity and networking information to its membership. Lobby and advocacy continues to serve as a key area of this work. For the first time, Membership also serves as an individual project in itself for which greater participatory membership events and processes are to be undertaken.


VANSA Annual Report: DIRECTOR’S REPORT 9

VANSA has in the past year, continued to engage artistic practitioners throughout the country through the Best Practice Guide workshops that present the guide which was translated into eleven official languages. We continued to strengthen the decentralisation and professional access programme by more programming that sort to engage practitioners outside of the major urban areas. After the launch of the website we have not increased membership numbers however we still have study increase on paid memberships. The has been an increase of Facebook engagements which may be pointing to the wider use of social media platforms in recent times. After being VANSA director for just over a year I have resigned from my position to pursue curatorial work that would have clashed with my duties at VANSA. The months spent at VANSA with its members and team have been the most enriching and insightful. I have seen the needs of the industry and my departure does not signal a complete detachment from the organisation. VANSA needs all its members contributing to sector in a holistic way and my contribution will be from a distance. Leadership change is important. VANSA remains a dynamic, malleable organisation, still significantly threatened by the precarity of funding difficulties in our context – it continues to be strong through the foundations set by previous staff and board and welcome the dynamism brought by new members of staff and board. With the support of VANSA members and the board the new financial year we will continue efforts to develop the strategic business unit seeking financial stability which will allow greater freedom for increased efforts in lobbying and conducting pertinent research timeously.

VANSA Annual Report: ECOSYSTEM REPORT (MEMBERS) 13

ECOSYSTEM REPORT The VANSA ecosystem refers to the interconnectedness and cycles of networks and programmes that make up VANSA. The following pages give insight into the many parts of our ecosystem and the many people who make it possible. VANSA Members VANSA is a membership-based organisation and its primary programmes are driven by member interests, needs and future objectives. Becoming a member is free and open to anyone interested in the arts. Members receive access to detailed information, opportunities and services. Our membership is also the basis upon which we are able to negotiate for better services and policies in the sector. Many people still connect to the work of VANSA without being members. VANSA endeavours to being an open organisation that is available to all. At the same time however, connected and contributing members can strengthen the organisation and we encourage all to be members who pay membership contributions according to their means. In November 2017 VANSA launched its much anticipated new website, offering a more convenient platform for members to sign up, pay their membership fees and connect to the organisation. During this transition the database had an extensive clean-up and you will notice a drop in membership but since the new website there is an increase in membership fees received, as you’ll notice in the financials. VANSA’s Facebook has received a steady increase in followers and a platform where we connect to most of our members. The membership growth should also be read in relation to the activity on Facebook and other social media platforms.

22 VANSA Annual Report: ECOSYSTEM REPORT (PROJECTS)

VANSA Projects VANSA projects make up the core of our ecosystem – people, places and objectives on which we collectively work. The projects discussed here are the main “event” type work that has happened over the past financial year and is arranged by programme areas. Obviously however, a lot of unseen work is also done in between these events, from the newsletters collated and distributed twice a month, to answering many calls a day to give information to those who need it, drop-ins who come to use our wifi, library or other support, and the many partners who use our equipment and space. The following key events, though interconnected and often multi-valued, are arranged according to the following key:


VANSA Annual Report: ECOSYSTEM REPORT (PROJECTS) 23

Decentralisation VANSA works with arts organisations and individuals across the country with the aim to support independent practice outside of the main city centres, as well as with partners across the African continent. Study Study integrates learning from members and others to better develop VANSA processes and programmes, and encourages self- and co-learning for creative practitioners and for the organisation itself. This serves as the key evaluative core of the organisation. Professional access VANSA provides information for its members. These are opportunities and industry information through its online media, as well as research based content which we collate and make accessible to our membership. Professional access also includes various research projects to better equip ourselves, our membership and various other players with knowledge to make targeted interventions for the betterment of the sector. Our research focuses on market issues, sector professionalisation issues and policy issues.

VANSA Annual Report: FINANCIAL REPORT 41

FINANCIAL REPORT VANSA is a nonprofit organisation that must rely on fundraising for its ongoing work. VANSA does not have any ongoing funds but rather short term contracts with different funders from around the world that are specific to the projects we apply for. VANSA maintains a stringent accounting process and follows good financial governance principles. The following is some of the key financial information from our Annual Financial Statements. The financial report includes a series of graphs to illustrate the ways in which VANSA’s funds are spent and very clearly demonstrates the value that VANSA brings to the sector with more than two thirds of the VANSA budget going directly to the betterment of the sector. Together with our auditors TJ Botha Spanenberg Inc., we made changes to how we report on finances in order for them to be more accurate. We will continue to gradually put in place better financial reporting processes.
