Placemaking Services

We are the leader in Placemaking projects with clients which include Urban Growth, City of Gold Coast and the City of Sydney.

Our point of difference is the understanding of the role Artists can play in the rethinking of our public spaces and Brand X is perfectly placed to develop models of engagement that bring authenticity to the creation of community assets.

Brand X has experience in activating space for creative use – from small pop-up rehearsal studios to large-scale multi-art facilities. We are artists with a detailed understanding of running creative businesses, engaging local communities and servicing the creative sector with resources that truly serve, develop and promote artistic endeavour.

Our goal is to work in partnership with you to establish a project with the right networks and resources to ensure the space will be a success. Fees associated with this service are negotiated on a case-by-case basis, determined by your budget, scope, capacity and deadline.
