Social engagement
Working in partnership, Deb Hoy can design and deliver a programme of community engagement workshops that culminate in a striking display of artwork, made by local people for their community.
Projects often overlap with wider place-making strategies in areas of regeneration, where building relationships and strengthening community cohesion is important.
Deb Hoy works with local stakeholders to celebrate the layers of history within a site, so that the past is remembered and honoured even when the landscape and surrounding infrastructure changes.

“ Deb recognises and nurtures the potential in everyone. Her workshops were popular and successful. They did not underestimate or restrict the group she simply provided the resources to make it manageable, encouraging everyone to explore and create.”
