Creating Together
Curator, Art Strategy Consultant and Director of WRAP
Hello! I’m a Melbourne-based curator working across public art, art collections and placemaking. I’m also Co-founder and Director of Weston Rumbold Art Projects (WRAP), an art consultancy and artist agency working across Australia.
My work brings artists into conversations about how places are designed, built and experienced. I collaborate with architects, developers, government and cultural organisations to develop art strategies, commission new work and curate collections for public spaces, buildings and precincts.
With more than 15 years’ experience in the arts, I work from early research and curatorial direction through to commissioning and delivery. This includes identifying opportunities for art within architectural and landscape designs, supporting artists to develop their ideas, and guiding project teams through the decisions that bring a work to life.
I’m interested in what makes a place particular: its histories, communities, creativity. These are the starting points for my approach to curation and placemaking.
You can explore our projects and services through WRAP, or get in touch to discuss a project or collaboration.
WRAP specialises in creative strategy, in-building and public art commissioning, placemaking and creating and delivering broad arts and cultural initiatives.
