Art at the Heart
Southampton City Council
Southampton's creation of a new city centre is driven by the city's aspiration to create a unique cultural, retail, commercial and leisure offer which rivals anywhere else in the region and beyond. The centrepiece for the city centre's regeneration will be the development of the cultural quarter - providing a focal point for the city's arts, heritage and cutltural activity.
sam in association with Alan Dix was comissioned by Southampton City Council to work with the Art at the Heart partnership (The Nuffield Theatre, John Hansard Gallery, Arts Asia and City Eye) to explore how they can develop joint practices and a shared vision for outdoor events centred around the new cultural quarter.

500 days and counting...
Accentuate
Inspired by the Paralympic Movement, Accentuate is a ground-breaking programme of 15 transformational projects. All aim to change perceptions by showcasing the talents of deaf and disabled people. Its ambition is to ensure lasting change by providing deaf and disabled people access to opportunities to lead and to participate. During its 1,000 day life Accentuate intends to do something that no other programme has achieved - to create a cultural shift in the way society views disability.
sam was commissioned to review the first 500 days of the project and to produce an account outlining achievements to date and Accentuate's ambitions for the next 500 days leading up to the 2012 Games. The published review will be available summer 2011.
