About Us
Curator is a creative intermediary that bridges the gap between artists and the commercial world. We help organisations integrate art, culture, and storytelling into their spaces and strategies while ensuring artists are supported, valued, and protected.
With a background in project management, placemaking, and creative production, we understand how to bring vision and execution together. Our role is part translator, part producer turning creative ideas into commercial outcomes, and commercial briefs into creative work.
Whether it's a mural for a public space, a curated collection for a development, or a collaboration with a designer or creative, we manage the process, protect the creativity, and deliver projects that leave a lasting impact.
What we do
At Curator, we connect artists with corporate and commercial opportunities and make sure the collaboration works for everyone.
We understand that artists and organisations often speak different languages. One values instinct, expression, and creative flow. The other needs clarity, timelines, and outcomes. Our job is to translate between the two, making sure expectations are aligned, communication is clear, and the brief is truly understood on both sides.
Whether it's a public artwork, a curated interior element, a brand collaboration, or an event – we’re there from concept to completion, managing the process with care, structure, and respect for the creative process.
We make sure:
- Artists feel supported, respected, and informed.
- Clients feel confident, involved, and understood.
- The outcome is something everyone is proud of.
At the heart of it, Curator is about clear communication, strong relationships, and beautiful outcomes.
