What We Offer

With a commitment to cultural integrity and ethical collaboration, Hyphenate Art Consultancy delivers end-to-end services, from concept to creation and beyond, ensuring public art projects honour Country, elevate Indigenous voices, and foster meaningful cross-cultural partnerships.

Services

At Hyphenate, we deliver streamlined, high-impact services designed to put more value into the art, and more funds into the hands of artists. Every service is delivered with cultural care, cost-efficiency, and long-term benefit in mind.

At Hyphenate, we work flexibly across Civic, Commercial, Regional, Educational, and Percent for Art contexts, delivering value-aligned outcomes at every scale. As practicing artists who’ve navigated the system ourselves, we understand the diverse needs of stakeholders, from community to council, developers to designers. We bring that insight to every project, balancing creative ambition with practical outcomes, cultural sensitivity, and cost-conscious delivery.

Strategic Planning & Cultural Policy

We create concise, actionable public art master plans, strategies, and cultural context reports tailored to developers, local governments, and planning authorities. Our planning is grounded in local knowledge, community consultation, and implementable outcomes, ensuring every recommendation is realistic, place-specific, and budget-aware.

Public Art Coordination

We manage the full lifecycle of public art delivery, from brief development and artist engagement to project management and installation. Our approach meets or exceeds Percent for Art policy standards while minimising unnecessary costs and ensuring the budget supports quality art outcomes and fair artist pay.

Place Activation

We design and deliver temporary and ephemeral installations that bring energy and visibility to public spaces. Whether supporting festivals, precinct revitalisations, or cultural events, our activations are cost-effective, culturally responsive, and community-focused, designed to maximise public interaction with minimal overhead.

Design Development & Delivery

We collaborate with artists, architects, and design teams to turn concepts into fully resolved artworks. Our services include design refinement, visualisation, technical documentation, fabrication coordination, and installation, ensuring efficient delivery to AustralianStandards without compromising creative or cultural integrity.

Art Collection Management

We offer comprehensive art collection services, including stocktake, policy development, conservation assessments, valuations, acquisitions, and secure storage solutions. Our focus is on preserving cultural value while implementing cost-effective, streamlined systems for asset management.

Artist Development & Sector Education

Through workshops, mentoring, talks, and advisory sessions, we support artists to grow their skills, increase income, and expand employment opportunities. We also guide councils, developers, and architects in best-practice approaches to working with artists, fostering cultural understanding and meaningful collaboration.
