Big ideas. Delivered.

Curate 518 develops public art and placemaking strategies for civic and institutional partners. We design and deliver initiatives that shape how communities experience public space, culture, and place.

What We Do

Strategy + Planning

We partner with clients to engage deeply with place, community, and creative possibility to develop strategies that are ambitious in vision and rigorous in execution. Thoughtful upfront work is what separates transformational projects from forgettable plop art.

Production + Curating

We guide public art and placemaking projects from concept through installation. From artist selection and management to budget development and on-site delivery, we oversee the many moving parts that allow complex projects to be built responsibly, efficiently, and at scale.

Events + Activations

We design and produce cultural experiences of every size, from citywide festivals and public activations to intimate wine gatherings. Each is intentionally crafted to create a sense of occasion, bringing people into closer relationship with place and one another.
