PUSH Pilot Scheme with Dada South

Dada South are launching a mini version of their successful Exchange mentoring programme. The first event took place at Enham in Southampton, and 3feet artist David Dixon was present with fellow mentor and collaborator Jon Adams. The afternoon was energetic: two talks and a pair of creative workshops left everyone with plenty to think about.

Cafe Culture

David Dixon will be speaking about his work and methods at the November Cafe Culture event in Andover. It's at the Lights Theatre, and starts at 7.30, finishing at 9.30pm. Also speaking will be a representative from the arts advice organisation CIBAS.
Please come along, all are welcome!

Chapel Arts studios

David Dixon has signed the papers and is now the Lead Artist and Programme Coordinator for the brand new Chapel Arts studios in Andover. Based in a spectacularly converted chapel in the grounds of Andover's St Mary's Church, the project was initiated by Test Valley Arts. It will provide an artistic hub for 3 artists, and be the spring board for a what is planned to be a stimulating and successful community outreach programme.
The building itself has lain dormant for a number of years now, and the transformation has been really ambitious. Just as soon as the builders snag list is completed, and the high standards met, the keys will be released and the work can begin!

New Technical Appointment!

Co-founder Louise Stokes has been appointed as the new Textile and Photographic Technician at Peter Symmonds College in Winchester. As it's one of the highest rated Sixth Form Colleges in the UK, this is a most welcome recognition of her abilities, and great news for the students!

Residency award

Co-founder David Dixon has been awarded one of this years AA2A artist residencies. This placement will be at Portsmouth University, allowing him to make the specialised equipment he needs for long-planned video installation.

Uproar

We are centrefolds! Uproar, a new arts magazine for the Southampton region, is using 3feet to produce a centrefold article that will result in a large and exciting public-art project. More details to follow as the scheme unfolds!

Coastal Currents

3feet got it's first collaborative outing late last month at the 10th annual Coastal Currents arts festival. Dixon and Stokes produced an one-day experimental installation using their bodies and 44 kilos of salt! Photos to follow soon...
