Executive summary

Chisenhale Gallery holds a distinctive position as an artist-founded commissioning institution with authentic cultural credibility and a diverse international board, yet faces an unsustainable financial trajectory with net assets declining 33% over two years. The organization must urgently diversify revenue beyond traditional grant dependency—leveraging digital expansion, social enterprise models, and international partnerships—while addressing governance complexity that may impede the decisive action required to restore financial resilience. Without strategic intervention, the gallery's reserves risk depletion within a three-to-four year horizon, threatening both its artistic mission and institutional continuity.
