SW Consulting is a team of specialist art consultants delivering projects in Australia for national and international clients. We specialise in creative strategy, in-building and public art commissioning, placemaking and creating and delivering broad arts and cultural initiatives.

  • We are passionate about harnessing the transformative power of public art. Through thoughtful curation, strategic and collaborative engagement, we bring public spaces to life. Our team of specialist art consultants work closely with communities, designers, and artists to create impactful and inspiring public art installations that enrich the urban landscape. We believe that public art has the ability to ignite conversations, foster a sense of belonging, and create memorable experiences. At SW Consulting, we work closely with our collaborators to create outcomes which transcend boundaries, capture imagination, and leave a lasting legacy for our clients and communities.

  • We believe that spaces have the power to shape experiences, evoke emotions, and bring people together. With our expertise in placemaking, we reimagine and transform environments into vibrant, engaging, and inclusive places. Through careful analysis, creative vision, and collaboration with stakeholders, we design and curate spaces that reflect the unique character and aspirations of communities. From activating public areas to enhancing workplaces, our holistic approach integrates art, culture, and design to create meaningful destinations that inspire connections and foster a sense of belonging.

  • We specialise in crafting exceptional in-building art collections that elevate our experiences whether in commercial or residential environments. We understand the power of art to inspire, engage, and transform our spaces, and we bring this understanding to every project. Our team of expert art consultants works closely with architects, interior designers, and clients to curate bespoke art collections that harmonise with the architecture, reflect the unique identity of the space, and captivate the senses.

    Through our meticulous approach, we carefully select and commission artworks from emerging and established artists, encompassing a diverse range of styles, mediums, and themes. Whether it's paintings, sculptures, installations, or digital art, we strive to create a collection that resonates with the space and connects with its occupants on an emotional level.

    With a keen eye for detail, we seamlessly integrate the art collection into the fabric of the building, considering lighting, spatial layout, and visitor experience. Our aim is to create a cohesive narrative that tells a story, sparks conversation, and leaves a lasting impression.

    Let us collaborate with you to curate a collection that embodies creativity, vision and connection that breathes new life into your spaces and creative teams.
