In February 2026, ART AID was appointed as Public Art Consultant for Archer & Albert by Coronation Property, marking the next chapter in a decade-long collaboration.
Nearly ten years ago, Coronation became our team's first client in the property sector. Since then, we've worked together consistently, building a partnership grounded in trust, shared ambition and a belief in the role culture plays in shaping meaningful places.

A decade in the making
Archer & Albert in Chatswood marks the next evolution of that relationship. With Woods Bagot leading the architectural vision and Arcadia shaping the landscape, the project draws inspiration from the Blue Gum High Forest, embedding ecological narrative and a strong sense of place within the built form.
Our role
Our role is to shape the public art strategy within this framework, ensuring it is integrated, site-responsive and culturally grounded.
But beyond integration, we see an opportunity to introduce something more: energy.
There is real potential to bring a dynamic and conceptually engaging layer to the public realm. Artwork that sparks curiosity, invites interaction and creates memorable moments within the everyday.
Activating architecture
Public art that doesn't simply sit alongside architecture, but activates it. After nearly a decade of collaboration, it is incredibly rewarding to continue growing alongside a developer who understands that public art is not an afterthought. It is embedded in the DNA of great placemaking.
We're looking forward to shaping what comes next.
