Artist Neville Gabie has been appointed by the Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) for a 16-month residency to deliver a number of schemes across the Olympic Park.

Sam Wilkinson of InSite Arts has been named curator as part of the Arts Council England-backed initaitive, which aims to reach out to communities and the 2012 workforce. Gabie and Wilkinson will be tasked with delivering a series of participatory arts schemes that will aim to capture the diverse range of communities and experiences across the site.

Wilkinson said: "We are excited that in some small way, Neville can share some of the stories of the site to those living in the immediate area and hopefully further afield." Gabie added: "This project represents a wonderful opportunity to develop my own creative practice and share that experience with wider audiences."
