PUBLIC ART SERVICES
Strategic Planning and Policy Development
We work with local councils and institutions to create or review Public Art Policies and Strategies that reflect civic priorities and planning frameworks. Whether it's shaping a long-term public art vision for a city centre, new development or revitalised precinct, we ensure strategies align with place identity and community values. Our support includes guidance on funding models, developer contributions and integration with broader placemaking and urban renewal initiatives.
Project Management
We deliver public art projects from inception to installation, managing timelines, budgets and compliance. Our team coordinates stakeholders including council departments, cultural planners, architects, landscape designers and contractors. We ensure robust project governance, public safety, risk mitigation and clear communication across all stages — ensuring every artwork is delivered with integrity and excellence.
Artist Engagement and Commissioning
We curate transparent and strategic commissioning processes, including EOIs, shortlists and artist invitations tailored to project scope, theme and community goals. Our approach ensures the right artist is matched to the right brief, while providing them with full support through design development, fabrication and delivery.
Community Consultation and Cultural Integrity
Public art should speak to and reflect the people it serves. We facilitate inclusive community engagement and work closely with Traditional Custodians and cultural consultants to embed authenticity, respect and diversity into every project. Co-design workshops, site-based consultation and feedback loops are built into our model to ensure local relevance and cultural awareness.
Promotion and Interpretation
To ensure artworks are understood and embraced by the community, we create compelling interpretive content, signage, education resources and digital storytelling assets. We support councils in launching new works with public programs, media campaigns and community events that amplify the impact and visibility of public art.
