Artbox 2019/2020

Artbox is a City of Gold Coast initiative that aims to deter graffiti vandalism by painting traffic signal boxes with bright, artistic designs, which also improves the visual façade and appeal of our streets. Every year local artists are invited to submit their creative ideas and artworks for a chance to be featured throughout the region. Original artworks by AW’s Emma Van Zaane and Laura Strange add new energy and vibrant sights to the streets of Mudgeeraba, Nerang and Robina, respectively.

OK, Zoomer.

OK, Zoomer.

Are you secretly working from your bedroom and you only look dressed from the waist up?Do you want to hide the fact that you have posters of D grade celebrities stuck to your bedroom walls? Or that ‘Hang in There’ cat poster?

It’s ok, we all know you love it. But let’s keep it private, shall we?

How to stay productive when working from home

How to stay productive when working from home

Home is a unique and fluid space, shaping itself around the people who come and go, as well as the objects and memories we choose to fill it with.

Transitioning from the office and being away from your work crew can be strange, but there are many wonders of working at your place of residence. Fun fact: AW used to be run out of Creative Director Claudio Kirac’s spare bedroom… and now, along with our peers, strangers and friends across the world, we’ve been working from home again to do our part in lowering the curve.
