About Juddy Roller
An Australian Public Art Agency Shaping Places Through Culture
Juddy Roller is an Australian public art and placemaking agency delivering ambitious, site-responsive artworks for developments, precincts and communities.
We combine curatorial expertise, trusted artist relationships and rigorous project management to take complex public art commissions from the first idea through to installation, documentation and long-term impact.
Whether you have a defined public art requirement, an underused site or the ambition to create a cultural landmark, we can help shape the right response.

Built From the Culture. Delivered at Scale.
Juddy Roller grew from Melbourne’s street art and graffiti culture: an environment built on originality, experimentation and a direct relationship with public space.
Over more than 15 years, we have developed from an independent cultural platform into an experienced national public art agency. Throughout that growth, we have remained connected to the artists and creative communities that give the work its authenticity.
That combination matters.
We understand how artists think, but we also understand construction programs, planning requirements, stakeholder approvals, access systems, traffic management, public liability and the responsibility that comes with delivering permanent work in highly visible locations.
We do not simply match an available artist with an empty wall. We consider the architecture, history, audience, cultural context and long-term ambition of each site before shaping the curatorial response.
Every project begins with place.
More Than a Mural Agency
Public art does not exist in isolation.
It sits within architecture, planning frameworks, public scrutiny, community expectations, safety requirements and long-term urban contexts. A successful artwork must do more than fill a wall. It must belong to its site, connect with its audience and be delivered properly.
Juddy Roller bridges the gap between creative ambition and real-world delivery.
We work with developers, architects, councils, government agencies, precinct managers and major brands to create public art that strengthens identity, contributes to the built environment and gives people a reason to remember a place.
Our role is to protect the creative integrity of the artwork while managing the practical, technical and commercial realities surrounding it.
The result is public art that is culturally credible, professionally delivered and built to last.
Founded by Shaun Hossack
curator, producer and cultural strategist Shaun HossackJuddy Roller was founded by curator, producer and cultural strategist Shaun Hossack. Shaun has spent more than 15 years creating platforms for public art and demonstrating its ability to reshape how people see and experience a place.
Shaun founded Australia’s first Silo Art Trail, transforming monumental agricultural infrastructure into a nationally recognised cultural tourism experience. He also established Wall to Wall Festival, which has commissioned hundreds of artworks and helped turn regional and suburban precincts into permanent open-air galleries.
His approach is grounded in a simple belief: public art should not be treated as decoration added at the end of a project. When considered early and delivered with ambition, it can become cultural infrastructure—shaping identity, generating visitation, building community pride and creating value that extends far beyond the artwork itself.
That philosophy continues to guide every Juddy Roller project.
Public art isn’t decoration. It shapes identity, creates connection and builds legacy.

Juddy Roller can manage the complete public art commissioning and delivery process or provide specialist support at a particular project stage.

Cultural Credibility
Our relationships have been built through years of direct involvement in street art, contemporary art and artist-led culture. We understand how to commission ambitious work without stripping away the qualities that make it meaningful.
From initial strategy and artist selection to access planning, installation and documentation, clients have one experienced team responsible for moving the project forward.
We do not apply the same visual treatment to every project. The artist, concept and delivery model are selected according to the specific needs of the site.
The strongest public artworks become landmarks, stories and shared reference points. We consider how each project can contribute to identity, visitation, community connection, media value and the wider reputation of the place.
Our team understands the realities of permanent public artwork: budgets, construction programs, stakeholder reviews, approvals, safety, access and long-term maintenance.
