Weymouth Beach 2012 by Alan Rogers
Weymouth Beach 2012

I was appointed as Arts Development Officer for Weymouth and Portland in 2007 to develop arts infrastructure, a public art programme and participatory cultural events for residents. This became the ‘Maritime Mix’ (London 2012 Cultural Olympiad By The Sea) programme and I became the Cultural Coordinator for the 2012 Operations Team, collaborating, managing and co-producing 60+ events with Richard Crowe, LOCOG Creative Programmer for the SW Region.

It was an extensive, unique programme, underpinned by complex partnerships, funding relationships and agreements, together with a layer of bureaucracy imposed by national security and international law. It supported and dovetailed with local authority objectives in regeneration, social cohesion, priority communities and health & wellbeing. It was the biggest challenge of my career in arts management.

My role varied from project to project. I invented and developed some projects such as ‘b-side’ and ‘Moving Tides’ due to an identified strategic need. I project managed others like ‘Olympic Deckchairs’ and the ‘Newstead Rd Bridge’. I acted as liaison officer between the producers and the various other agencies involved in delivery of multi-layered, regional projects e.g. ‘Battle For The Winds’, the ‘Boat Project’ and ‘Nowhereisland’. I personally raised over £1M of the £7M programme.

About Me

Welcome to my portfolio website. There are two sections: one features a small selection of my work as a visual artist, the other a selection of successful projects that I curated, directed, led or project managed within arts development and the public realm.

Identity, place and space link these two areas of work. I draw on specific physical, historical and cultural environments either to inspire and locate my own work or to commission new projects for others.

I founded the b-side festival in 2008 and was Executive Director between 2012-20. During the same time I lectured on the BA Creative Events Management course at AUB and taught Fine Art at Weymouth College.

I moved back to Italy in 2020 and now live and work permanently in Sant' Elena, Venice, Italy.

A current CV can be downloaded from the 'About Me' page on this website.
