Camberwell Grammar’s Artistic Journey with Mainartery Studio
Paul Hicks, the Headmaster at Camberwell Grammar School, shares the school’s experience in integrating sculpture art into their environment. They embarked on this journey to enrich the educational setting with beauty and creativity, a crucial aspect of inspiring students.
The school sought a sculpture that would complement their new sports center’s solid and angular architecture. They desired something fluid, organic, and dynamic. In collaboration with Mainartery Studio, they chose ‘Tied’, a sculpture symbolizing potential being unleashed, resonating deeply with the school’s educational mission.
Throughout the commissioning process, Todd Stuart of Mainartery Studio worked closely with the school, respecting their budget and vision. He provided photo-shopped images to visualize the sculpture’s placement, ensuring a perfect fit. The entire process, from concept to installation, was smooth and efficient, exceeding the school’s expectations in both timeline and outcome.
Initial apprehensions on using the internet to source a pre-qualified artsource were quickly dispelled on discovery of Todd’s work, & experiencing his commitment to quality and detail. Regular updates and progress photos provided reassurance and built trust.
The sculpture has been warmly received by the school community. Students and staff are fascinated by its reflective surface and the underlying concept of unfolding potential. It has become more than just an art piece; it’s a symbol of the school’s values and mission.
Paul Hicks highly recommends Mainartery Studio for their exceptional customer service, attention to detail, and value. Their ability to align art with the school’s cultural and educational objectives makes them an invaluable partner in enhancing community spaces.
