Alleycat Creative has been engaged to work with Pellicano and Perri Projects creating an urban Art Strategy for a Development in Woolloongabba Brisbane.
The Development of the South City Square precinct will include a very strong visual public art presence throughout the public areas.
To set the tone for exciting public art to come, Alleycat Creative managed two preliminary public art initiatives in October 2015.
(1) The End of the Line Festival performance piece
An artist was engaged to paint live at the End of The Line Festival upon wooden panels.
The artwork was painted during the festival so the public could enjoy viewing the process and be introduced to the creative aspects of the new precinct. This artwork is to be displayed at the Development site.
Artist: Gimiks Born created a pink and blue mermaid and river bull shark
(2) Artwork created on Development Site
An artist was engaged to create an ‘experimental piece’ (whatever they wanted) upon an existing blank wall on the Development site. The idea behind this is to engage the public and celebrate artistic expression even in the early days of the building process.
Artist: The Zookeeper

The Owners of the Eureka Hotel Geelong were looking to refresh their entire 7 room venue using a combination of Street art and quirky refurbishment.
Alleycat Creatives preference was to predominantly use recycled, vintage or pre-loved items through the refurb.
Alleycat Creative was engaged to (a) design the Creative Concepts for the 7 different personalities of the areas in the venue, (b) source the quirky items for the space, (c) work alongside the Client to manage aspects of the interior design aspects of the refurbishment and (d) curate the collection and project manage the installation of several Street Art works within each of the areas of the venue.
A curated team of 18 Street Artists were commissioned to install their works directly upon the wall surfaces within the rooms.
The refurb occurred over a 3 week period in June 2013.
The result is a total transformation of a ‘soul-less’ space into a warm, interesting, atmospheric venue, filled with personality inviting visitors to question, explore and play.

Alleycat Creative provides street art consultancy to the Bridge Hotel, Richmond, co-ordinating a team of local Melbourne underground artists to create layers of interest and colour throughout the recently renovated space.
The Hotel contains a full Melbourne-esque open air cobblestone laneway running down the middle connecting several eclectic dining alcoves and quirky drinking nooks.

Alleycat is working with the Hotel in an on-going sense developing the street art throughout the venue, curating various street art ‘event’s / exhibitions.
Movember, now a global entity (created/founded in Melbourne 2003) were seeking to return to grass roots Melbourne for their 2010 campaign. It was decided a giant (15 meter) sculpture of a Moustache would be hidden in one of Melbournes CBD laneways.
Alleycat Creative assisted in profiling Melbourne’s laneways, finding the right position, gaining all permits and permissions then project managing the installation of the giant sculpture for the month of Movember.
Alleycat Creative worked with QV Melbourne to install a temporary street art piece to (a) add interest to a plain concrete wall (b) soften the space and (c) direct foot traffic to exhibition space located in the laneway. A local Melbourne cartoon artist created a paper paste-up piece featuring his detailed comic strip works.
