PUBLIC AND PRIVATE ART FOR PLACES AND SPACES

Art is a many-splendoured thing. It means different things to different people.

To produce, commission, or choose a work of art for a space, whether it be public or private, requires attention to the finer detail as well as the bigger picture. Deborah’s industry expertise and many years of experience guarantees your project is in safe hands.

DEBORAH McCORMICK

I deliver art from concept to reality in public and private spaces. Constantly exploring what public art can be, working with hundreds of artists over my 25 year career.

STRONG INDUSTRY
RELATIONSHIPS

Great public art comes through understanding people. Relationships with artists, galleries, donors and sponsors. Make art happen with the help of DMC and our industry connections.

Rachel Rakena

AN AOTEAROA
PERSPECTIVE

DMC acknowledges the traditional kaitiaki of the lands and water on which we meet. We recognise the value, diversity and integrity of te ao Māori arts, cultures and expressions, and their powerful influence and significance. 

We pay our respects to tupuna past and kaumātua present and extend that respect to all tangata whenua, especially mana whenua.

Rachael Rakena and Keri Whaitiri, Ahakoa he iti...
2004, Commissioned by SCAPE Public Art

“I see myself as a producer – taking an idea with an artist and making it happen. Through DMC, we will work with our clients to take extraordinary art into context outside of gallery spaces.”
