Who we are
illuminart was founded in Australia in 2007 to respond to a clear gap in how public places were being activated after dark — bringing together light, image, and technology to create meaningful, place-led experiences in contexts where few existed.
Much of this work was developed in regional settings, where long-term investment, inclusive storytelling, and collaboration with women, First Nations people, and local communities required approaches that were culturally grounded and technically robust.
Over time, illuminart has evolved into a specialist studio working at the intersection of art, infrastructure, and placemaking — delivering both permanent civic assets and curated night-time experiences.
Today, illuminart are led by artists and producers with deep experience across projection, digital media, public art, and large-scale delivery, working alongside technical specialists, collaborators, and communities across the country.
