Art Pharmacy is one of Australia’s leading art consultancies implementing creative visions and cultural projects.
Art Pharmacy is a full service art and culture consultancy implementing creative projects for the public, corporate and private sectors. We engage and collaborate with local artists at all points in their careers, from emerging to established, to deliver bespoke creative projects. As Australia’s first Arts and Culture B-Corporation, we take diversity seriously, not just in our artists but also in the clients we choose to work with and the projects we take on.
We provide an end-to-end service, working across the conceptualisation, development and delivery of projects. Throughout this process, consultation and communication are at the core of our practice. At every step, we work closely with our clients to ensure that their needs and ambitions are understood. Based on our expert knowledge, we aim to empower our clients to take bold and informed decisions to collaboratively implement unique, innovative and impactful creative visions.
We believe in the importance of site-specificity and locality, and deliver projects in correspondence with the community and location’s unique attributes. As independent consultants, we source and collaborate with contemporary artists on custom commissions, tailored specifically for the projects. We pride ourselves in taking a holistic approach to all projects and translate our clients’ visions into artists’ creative solutions.
