PUBLIC ART PROJECT TYPES

COUNCIL + COMMUNITY MURALS

Public art murals for councils, community organisations, town centres, parks, public walls, laneways, and shared spaces. Artwork can be developed to reflect the site, local identity, audience, and intended use of the space.

INFRASTRUCTURE + UTILITY ARTWORK

Murals and painted artwork for infrastructure, utility boxes, transformer enclosures, water tanks, retaining walls, bridge pylons, underpasses, transport corridors, and other public-facing surfaces.

SCHOOL + YOUTH PROJECTS

Public art projects for schools, youth programs, education spaces, skate parks, community workshops, and collaborative mural projects. Artwork can be designed to suit the age group, site, brief, and level of participation required.

PLACEMAKING + PUBLIC SPACES

Site-specific murals for precincts, hospitality areas, shopping centres, town centres, public walkways, outdoor walls, and spaces designed to create visual identity, atmosphere, and a stronger sense of place.

LARGE-SCALE PUBLIC MURALS

Large-scale murals for exterior walls, architectural surfaces, public-facing buildings, civic spaces, and high-visibility locations where scale, access, durability, and long-term impact need to be considered.

EXTERIOR MURALS

Large exterior walls, outdoor surfaces, public-facing artwork, and weather-exposed murals painted with materials suited to the site and finish required.

PUBLIC ART FOR WALLS, INFRASTRUCTURE + COMMUNITY SPACES

Public art projects can range from large exterior murals and painted infrastructure through to community artwork, placemaking projects, school murals, public-facing walls, laneways, and site-specific mural commissions.

PUBLIC ART MURALS FOR COUNCILS, SCHOOLS, DEVELOPERS + COMMUNITIES

Public art murals can be created for councils, schools, community organisations, developers, government projects, public spaces, transport corridors, shopping precincts, parks, town centres, and private sites with public-facing walls.

HOW PUBLIC ART PROJECTS WORK

Public art projects usually begin with a brief, site photos, wall dimensions, access details, timeline, surface information, and an understanding of the location and audience.

From there, Mike can develop a concept, digital mock-up, quote, and painting plan suited to the wall, site, approval process, materials, access requirements, and final outcome.
