The Artists' General Benevolent Institution was established in 1814 and incorporated by Royal Charter in 1842. Its object is to afford financial assistance to professional artists — painters, sculptors, engravers, and architects-who are in need through sickness, accident, misfortune, or old age. Relief is also given to the widows of artists.
The Institution is largely dependent upon voluntary subscriptions, and each year there is an increase in the number of those requiring assistance.
