Communities in Colour creates community-led artworks in public space, connecting people and place.
Through colour, design, and collaboration, we transform how spaces are experienced. Every surface we paint is backed by professional-grade materials trusted by the world's biggest courts.
Project of the Year 2026
Our Black Cockatoo mural in Naracoorte, South Australia was awarded Project of the Year at the Sport Group Conference in Macau — recognised on a global stage for its celebration of Country, community, and colour. This project is a testament to what happens when art, place, and people come together.
Art backed by performance.
We don't just paint surfaces — we build them to last. Every project combines bold creative vision with professional-grade materials trusted by the world's top courts.
We use Laykold acrylic surfaces — the official surface of the US Open — ensuring every court we paint performs as beautifully as it looks.

Built to last
Every artwork is shaped by the people and place it belongs to, creating spaces that carry real meaning for the communities that use them.
From concept to completion, we build with longevity in mind — surfaces and artworks designed to withstand time, weather, and heavy use.
In Daguragu, a place with deep connections to land and community, Communities in Colour was honoured to contribute to House of Darwin’s Hoop Dreams program for the Freedom Day Festival. This initiative continues to transform spaces into places of connection, creativity, and celebration.
Together with the local community, we helped bring colour and life to the space, supporting the vision created by the community for areas where culture, play, and learning can intersect. Our role was to collaborate and bring that vision to life through painting and design.
The site is steeped in history. Fifty years ago, Gurindji stockmen and their families walked off Wave Hill Station in protest against unfair working conditions — a stand that became a pivotal moment in the journey for recognition of Indigenous land rights. That action and the years of advocacy that followed eventually led to the return of land at Daguragu, commemorated today through the Freedom Day Festival. The festival remains a time for gathering, reflection, and celebration of resilience, culture, and community.
Guided by the vision of the traditional owners of the land, this project honours that history, creating a space where stories, culture, and community converge — a living reminder of the strength of this place and the people who continue to care for it.
