St George Community Housing: Build to Rent

We were delighted to partner with St George Community Housing, AXA IM Alts and Numi Collective to source artwork for their recently completed 3 Farmhouse Road, Westmead Project.

This transformative Build to Rent (BTR) project includes 397 apartments for low-moderate income earners and key workers including healthcare workers, teachers, and emergency responders.

We worked closely with the team to select works from Boomalli Aboriginal Artist Co-operative, the longest running Aboriginal owned and run arts organisation dedicated to supporting and promoting NSW language group artists.

Boomalli provides a safe space for artists to exhibit, work and tell their stories through their art. This project features Graham Toomey, Shane Youngberry, Chenaya Bancroft- Davies, Nathan Falk, Sharon Smith and Jeffrey Smith who all explore their connection country and culture through their art.

A special thanks to Danny Morse Art Framing for framing and installing this beautiful collection of works throughout the building.

Artwork Spotlight: This beautiful Sharon Smith painting is located in a communal break out on the ground floor. Sharon Smith is a descendant of the Wiradjuri tribe of Western New South Wales. She says of this work: “The smaller circles are our ancestors’ resting places after traveling looking for water and food. The footprints of our ancestors are known as song lines which are part of our creation. Each tribe had their own song line passed down to them by their ancestors. These song lines trace the journeys of ancestral spirits who created the land.”
