Our team

Soozy Roberts is a socially-engaged artist and curator who collaborates with communities, objects and environments in an interactive, playful and progressive manner.  

Soozy has been working in Matson since 2018 as a creative catalyst with Create Gloucestershire and as a freelance artist/producer.

​

She is passionate about working with communities and developing arts opportunities in areas where these aren’t so readily available.  

Soozy also lectures in Live Art & Participatory Practices at Bath Spa University. 

Sam is a communications specialist with a passion for community and the power of the arts. With a strong track record of leading strategy and teams across public relations and marketing in the Film, TV, visual effects and animation industry, Sam now works across various creative and socially engaged organisations on a project basis.

 

Sam helps to shape and grow organisations towards their mission through messaging work, campaign management, media relations, stakeholder engagement and fundraising. She joined GAS projects in 2025 to help reach more audiences and lead Big Give 2025.

I am an artist facilitator and creative producer with a passion for giving a voice to the overlooked or unheard. I began working in Gloucester in 2020 when I started conceiving heritage-focussed projects that told the stories of people from the city past and present. 

 

I have a background in art history and museum and gallery education and my work explores how art and artists can create meaningful change through engagement with communities.
