→ About WRAP

We are an Australian based art consulting studio and artist agency passionate about delivering landmark public artworks and art collections for commercial, private and public clients. From public art master plans and artist commissioning 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.

We works closely with architects, developers and government agencies to shape the legacy of built environments by integrating meaningful art and design into public and interior spaces.
