Debut Artists Testimonials

We pride ourselves on our collaborations between artists and other creative disciplines including some of the leading luxury brands. Collaboration with Annoushka Jewellery is the first of many exciting collaborations to come.

Down below are some things the participating artists have said about their experience of the DEBUT scheme.

"The biggest change is my greater visibility in the art world through all the exhibiting opportunities which have appeared. It's been fascinating to see each show higher on the media radar. But I've also got a much clearer approach to making my work and me more generally visible. I feel I've properly turned professional. It's a different mindset."

Gillian Holding

"It is a similar feeling when I ran the marathon. I wanted to cry and stop several times but there was no one around to watch me cry and it wouldn’t get the race finished. So I carried on one step at a time and before you know it you have accomplished a dream. The first time is the hardest. Debut helped me with the first step, now it’s up to me to capitalise on everything I have learnt."

Toni Gallagher

 Debut Contemporary significantly helps me to establish my career as an artist. Before I joined Debut, it was difficult for me to have the knowledge of the business side that goes together with the creative side. Thanks to Debut contemporary's workshops, I have acquired a wide knowledge of using and learning how to include social media and other skills to promote my art.
 

Maia Franceschi 

I am really grateful to Debut Contemporary team for believing so much in my work and in my potential. Your support since you have signed me and welcomed me into your team has been amazing. Your professional advice and insights about the reality checks of being an artist in this competitive art world have been a treasure to me. Debut Contemporary has definitely strengthened my confidence about who I am as an artist and insert a courage in me to stand out for what I honestly believe in.

Laura Iosifescu

The staff at Debut Contemporary believes in me and has been very helpful on all accounts. I am really happy to be a part of this scheme.
 

Adrian Scicluna

It has been so rewarding, especially in the amount of information that the workshops provide and how supportive everyone has been.
It has been important to try to stand back and really think about what my practice is, of course the work itself is the most important aspect but it’s also important to place oneself within the context of the art world and to create avenues for other people to access the work. I personally needed that structure to be introduced into my creative process.
 

Wendy MacMillan

My experience with Debut has been great so far. The whole team is so lovely and dedicated. It has really helped me gain confidence in my Art practice and gain a lot of knowledge on how to sustain my practice.
 

Heloise Delegue

I have developed an incredible amount of confidence being part of Debut Contemporary.  It’s really exciting showing my work during the private views and the continued progress of my work and confidence, recently demonstrated in an interview during a private view. Also the feedback and encouragement given by the team members is very uplifting.
