Lorna and I go back many years from our time in New York. I sat for a chat with her and co-founder, Rachael McNabb to talk about New Public, the cultural placemaking and public art agency they launched together in London in 2023. Turns out it’s a lot more than you’d expect from an art agency. They are women-owned and operated and strive for something deeper than simply winning a bid — they are on a mission to affect cultures at the root level through a full range of creative mediums. 

A friend of mine mentioned her sister to me a few months back, she said she works with artists to collaborate on projects for brands. So, I got in touch with the lovely Lucy Clarke here, and we had a little chat about Art Agency work. Turns out she is a project manager at MTArt Agency and she has plenty to tell us about all the incredible artworks she get’s to work with.
