.OUR TEAM.
.WHAT WE DO.
Proper Creative is a collaboration of local artists from all disciplines, specialising in small personal jobs to large-scale public art projects. The team at Proper Creative offer a range of services from workshops, exhibitions, graffiti and crime prevention murals and small group instruction. The Proper Creative team guarantees all work and services and we manage projects from the design and implementation stage to production and handover. We support and enable local artists and understand your needs, and we have the backing of 15+ years industry experience
Proper Creative has had a hand in most of the notable projects in the Northern Territory; if you see a great mural in the NT, chances are we were involved in managing it, providing/referring the artists, or providing advice.
We have also managed the Darwin Street Art Festival since its inception in 2017, transforming the laneways of Darwin into a spectacular outdoor gallery and forever changing the way that people move through our beautiful tropical city.
