→ About WRAP

WRAP is a Melbourne-based art consulting studio and artist agency working across Australia. We collaborate with developers, architects and government agencies to integrate meaningful artworks into public spaces, buildings and precincts. Our services span art strategy, curation, commissioning, collection management, artist services and creative activations — connecting people and places through meaningful art and design.

From public art master plans and curation, through to design development, fabrication and installation, we guide complex projects with creativity, clarity, technical expertise and care.

WRAP brings together creative thinking, curatorial rigour and real-world delivery. The result is art that feels inseparable from its setting — grounded in story, shaped through collaboration and realised with care.
