The Clayton Utz Art Partnership brings together a unique collaboration between outstanding Australian artists and our firm.

Each exhibition provides a platform to display the creations of contemporary artists in a corporate office setting. This exhibition space delivers a distinctive visual art experience, allowing clients to closely engage with a diverse selection of artwork. 

Current Sydney Exhibition

Our Sydney office is pleased to present a very special exhibition in which we celebrate the many wonderful connections and partnerships we have made through the Art Partnerships program since its inception in 2017 by bringing together the works of 17 exceptional Australian artists who have participated in the Clayton Utz Art Partnership over the last eight years.

Across both Level 14 and Level 15, this group exhibition features works by Ann Thomson, Neil Frazer, Joanna Braithwaite, Euan Macleod, Jasper Knight, Reg Mombassa, Fiona Lowry, Nick Collerson, Telly Tu’u, Clara Adolphs, Annalisa Ferraris, Amber Boardman, Noel McKenna, David Griggs, Peta Minnici, Dean Brown and Madeleine Pfull This exhibition celebrates both recognised artists and exciting newcomers - amongst the group are Archibald, Wynne and Sulman prize winners, artists with decades of exhibiting history, and others who have recently presented their first solo exhibition in a public institution. As these artists continue to progress in their professional careers, so does the enjoyment and celebration of creativity that this program delivers.

“What we also saw was a connection between the creativity of artists and innovative approaches that lawyers could develop. Quality artists (whether painting abstracts, landscapes, still lifes or portraits) have an inherent genius to deliver, in a clever way, an image capable of evoking different reactions in the minds of viewers. Similarly, lawyers who think laterally and pragmatically about client issues do so through an innate sense of innovative creativity to develop clever solutions, and resolutions, for clients. There’s creativity in great lawyers and great law firms, so artists and lawyers have more in common than we might first think.” – Bruce Cooper, The Clayton Utz Art Partnership: 2017 – 2022

The Art Partnership is a truly exciting initiative and demonstrates our pride as an Australian firm committed to the cultural sector, and the broader creative communities in which we live and work.

We hope you enjoy being part of it.
