Sampad is a culturally specific arts organization that has operated for over 20 years, funded by Arts Council England and Birmingham City Council. It focuses on artistic programming, professional development, international partnerships, education, and outreach. It is partnering with mac on a £15.2m building project. Current challenges include funding cuts from arts councils and city councils as well as other financial pressures. The organization is working with Creative Bridge to develop financially sustainable models that increase access to and appreciation of South Asian arts, especially for hard to reach communities. This includes prioritizing programming, understanding strengths, and establishing new digital technology contacts and networks.

- Education – Young peopleGallery 37 project using parqourLite – issue based drama workshops in education and community settingsOut of Many One – next slide
- Out of Many One brought together 20 schools and youth groups from diverse communities across Birmingham to celebrate sampad’s 20th anniversary.
- We always try to keep an eye on the future in terms of:How audiences/people consume cultureThe
- Adapting to the changing world around us
- Our reference points:Medialab Prado – a major influence and long term project partnerJugando con NumerosVisualizarExchangelab, a professional development to upskill creative professionals, artists, curators and producers in the various applications of digital technology in partnership with Medialab Prado, Madrid, and now with Ars Electroinica, Austria, and STRP, Netherlands through a follow on project called SEPP:Digital; OPPORTUNITIES – to discover new ways of working
- The idea for this project stemmed from previous work we had done with local young people (those aged between 15 and 18), as part of our radiu5 project. We learnt that young people were interested in using digital technology compared to our more traditional approaches
- sampad does not currently use gaming technology in its generaleducation and outreach projects,despite a recent report by the Gaming Steering Group that stated 33 million people in the UK play video games, which is just over half of the UK’s population. All these issues present new opportunities, as there is obviously scope for this kind of product.
- Assessing trends – income and expenditure of various programme strandsAngela Maxwell – Business consultant helped to focus our ‘business’ brains. Drawing together data we were able to ask questions such as:What do we want to do?What can we afford to do?What should we do less/more of?
- Shared approach I brought in the director and the programme manager – for a shared approachWe jointly understood the problems and the solutionsto spread the responsibility, knowledge, concerns, and new areas of focus and motivation.
- This enabled us to better understand our strengths as an organisation.It also enabled us to look at what we should be doing that we’re not doing. E.g:Fundraising – should we build sponsorship relationships? How much time should we commit to trust funding? Can Crowd funding work for Sampad?Developing corporate contacts (SMT) – tested with Mandala, relationships started e.g. BIDs, B100
- Concentration on selling new ways of working to agencies such as HLF, and trusts.E.g. Using AR and Data vis for community heritage projects
- Ensuring have a sales strategy in place – particularly for our education products and projects, and monitoring progress.Being more business-likeConcentrating on the bottom lineBeing financially viableMaking those hard decisions – particularly around our programme activitiesScenario planning for reduced public funding
- Another example of work we did with Creative Bridge DevLabDigitally we are experimenting with new collaborations to produce innovative and inspiring work.Finding new ways of working with technology organisationsMy Route AR and Data Vis providers came through DevLab.
- Helping hands.Continued valuable on-going support on a more informal basis.Strong understanding of the organisation’s strengths, skills, and growth areas
