Australian art fabricator
Urban Art Projects (UAP) is an Australian company that works with artists, architects, designers, developers, curators, institutions and art commissioners to realize public art and architectural design elements.
History.
The company was founded in 1993 in Brisbane, Australia by brothers Matthew and Daniel Tobin. Its initial name was Urban Artists. The Tobin brothers first purchased a small welding and metal fabrication company that worked on marine and construction projects. Over time, they invested the profits of this first company into the construction of a foundry that could be used for art projects. One of UAP's first clients was the Australian Waanyi multi-media artist Judy Watson.
The company has its main office and studios in Brisbane, and a satellite studio in Shanghai.
In 2019, UAP acquired New York-based foundry, Polich Tallix. The same year, UAP began using a large industrial robot for selected projects at its Brisbane studio.
