About us.

SW Art Consulting is a multi-disciplinary art consulting studio, dedicated to shaping public and private spaces through art and design.

Our Approach

We're committed to curating and commissioning art that changes our spaces and tells compelling stories. Our projects are designed to connect people, share experiences, and create environments that resonate with audiences. 

From major public artworks and bespoke commissions to integrated collections and strategic placemaking, we collaborate with artists, designers, and communities to create meaningful, enduring experiences. We curate by conversation, and lead with care. As art consultants, we help shape the legacy of built environments by integrating meaningful artworks into both public and in-building spaces. From civic sites to hotels, precincts to property developments, we collaborate with architects, developers and government bodies to ensure that art isn’t just decorative, but makes a lasting contribution to culture and place.
Our approach is rigorous — and above all, collaborative. We work at the intersection of creativity and commercial reality, aligning vision and budget without compromising artistic integrity.

PHILOSOPHY

We care about enriching our communities and places of work through art and community engagement.

We take a holistic approach to all projects. We believe in meaningful stakeholder consultation, collaboration and genuine engagement. We work with emerging, mid-career and established artists with diverse practices, media and materials to deliver striking outcomes. 

APPROACH

We provide our clients with a range of services including art direction, creative and curatorial strategy, technical advice and project management to ensure commissions integrate easily into the broader design teams, sites and contexts.

We believe that spaces have the power to shape experiences, evoke emotions and bring people together. With our expertise in in-building and public art, we reimagine and transform environments into vibrant, engaging and inclusive places. Through careful analysis, creative vision and collaboration, we design and curate spaces that reflect the unique character and aspirations of communities.

From activating public areas to enhancing workplaces, our approach integrates art, culture and design to produce meaningful destinations that inspire connections and foster a sense of belonging and creativity.
