In an innovative new partnership, Mirvac has teamed up with the National Art School to give emerging artists a whole new avenue for exhibiting their ideas: commissioned works for our assets. As well as broadening our engagement with the community and providing grassroots funding for new artists, this partnership will enable us to enhance the look and feel of our developments, and the experiences people have there.
Our first project has been to commission five up-and-coming artists to submit their ideas for a large-scale public work.

We’ve also been working with the National Art School to develop a sustainable plan for the school’s site in Darlinghurst, Sydney and looking at opportunities to commission art for some of our office foyers.
Our artistic endeavours haven't been limited to Sydney either.
Our artistic endeavours haven't been limited to Sydney either. In Perth, we enlisted the help of external art curators as part of our Old Treasury Building development. After inviting several leading interactive artists to submit concepts, a winner was chosen – Sohan Ariel Hays, who created an incredible concept that will feature lifelike, motion-sensitive images of aquatic life projected into a central pond.
