” PublicArt Works (formally Artscape) project managed the delivery of UNA by Wolfgang Buttress for the ANU’s new medical science precinct. It was a unique project in that the site was in Canberra, the artist in the UK, Lyons Architects are in Melbourne and the artwork was fabricated in Brisbane. It is a credit to their rigorous project management and communication skills that the delivery of UNA has been the smoothest public art project in my 30 years in the job.” Ian Duff, Senior Project Coordinator, Project Delivery Facilities & Services Division, The Australian National University
“They are a fantastic company – professional, diligent, sensitive, honest, perceptive and fun to work with. The UNA project prior to commencement had the potential to be very challenging. It was in fact one of the smoothest projects that I have had the pleasure to work on.” Wolfgang Buttress, Principal, Buttress Ltd
“Merran Morrison (formerly with Artscape) worked closely with Lend Lease to deliver a highly successful public art component to the new RCH. Jade Oakley’s mobiles make a significant contribution to the beauty and unique nature of the Main Street space. As a public art project manager her role eliminated the need for Lend Lease to deal directly with the artist. She facilitated the communication between the artist, architects, and Lend Lease, ensuring a smooth delivery process.” David O’Shaughnessy, Project Director Royal Children’s Hospital, Lend Lease
“Your services and professionalism made the art commissioning process seamless, delivered on budget and finalised ahead of time. It is a credit to your organisational and communication skills that you managed to balance the ideals of not only Woolworths but also of Council and the Artist.” Chris Sheehan, Regional Development Manager Woolworths Ltd

“I greatly enjoy working on projects with the Artscape Biennial team. As I am based in Scotland, they are an invaluable partner as project managers ‘on the ground’ in Australia, highly efficient and insightful colleagues who have ensured the success of several commissions over the years. They have a complete understanding of the intricacies and nuances of the successful commissioning of public art as well as my own practice, which allows me the freedom to concentrate on maximising creativity for clients.” Andy Scott, Principal, Andy Scott Public Art
