Client Testimonial - Brookfield Property

The Artbank Collection is made up of artworks from all over this vast country. Artbank has supported a number of our clients to bring First Nations culture, language, histories and voices to their workplace and to ensure the spirit of reconciliation is not just a vision but an active part of their everyday. Through the rich, complex and important First Nations artworks Artbank is able to share with our clients, we can help to acknowledge the Traditional Custodians of Country and the strength and resilience of the longest cultures on the planet.  Artbank has worked with Brookfield Properties to curate a significant selection of First Nations artworks in their Asia–Pacific head office at Brookfield Place Sydney.

"In partnership with Artbank, Brookfield and Brookfield Properties have been fortunate to curate a collection of artworks in our Asia–Pacific head office at Brookfield Place Sydney, which features all First Nations artists across more than 30 artworks.

Our ongoing collaboration with Artbank is just one of many ways Brookfield and Brookfield Properties are meeting our vision of making real estate better, and in meeting our reconciliation vision to elevate First Nations cultures, histories, languages and art in the properties we develop and operate.

In the spirit of reconciliation, we were fortunate to have the talented Senior Art Curator at Artbank, Dr Oliver Watts, host a curatorial art experience of this collection. Our VIP guests we’re taken on an in-depth journey of the collection, experiencing First Nations culture through the stories shaped by the artworks. Oliver’s art history knowledge brings an impressive approach to storytelling, providing our guests with a thought-provoking, and culturally immersive experience."

"Brookfield is delighted to have partnered with Artbank for the past three years, enabling us to showcase the diverse and extraordinary talent of Australian artists in our Asia Pacific head office at Brookfield Place Sydney. 

In 2023 we once again had the benefits of the brilliantly talented Art Consultant, Carey Corbett, who carefully constructed an entire First Nations curation in time for NAIDOC Week celebrations and in line with our Reconciliation Action Plan objectives. We’re thrilled with the result.

As a global patron of the arts, we understand the importance of Artbank’s role in preserving and nourishing the work of Australian creatives while also assisting to fund living artists to do what they do best."
