What do parks, museums and historical sites all have in common? They feature interpretative signage!
Signage plays a crucial role in creating an informative and respectful experience for visitors. Through storytelling, signage helps guide the visitor by explaining where they are, what they can see and the importance of it.
Here at The Exhibitionist, we have experience of working with communities, stake holders and artists in order to achieve inclusive, respectful and educational signage to showcase and highlight their important stories.
We’re proudly Territory-based and community is at the heart of everything we do. From supporting local businesses and artists to creating opportunities in remote regions, we believe in meaningful engagement that has real impact.
We work closely with Traditional Custodians, remote communities, and local organisations to ensure our projects give back. Whether that’s through skills sharing, cultural consultation or co-designing experiences that reflect the voices of the people who live there. Our commitment goes beyond business, it’s about building strong relationships, fostering local pride, and celebrating the rich diversity of the Northern Territory.
Interpretive signage is a powerful tool for engaging and educating visitors. Whether it’s a park, museum, trail, or historical site, well-designed signage helps people connect with their surroundings through storytelling, imagery, and thoughtful design. We create signage that’s not only informative, but visually compelling, durable, and tailored to the unique character of each site.
From concept to completion, we bring museum exhibitions to life. Our team can handle every stage; design, print, fabrication, and installation. We incorporate interactive elements, 3D displays, lighting, audio visual integration, and custom builds to help tell your story in a memorable and meaningful way. Whether it’s a permanent exhibition or a temporary showcase, we deliver experiences that engage and inform
We design and fabricate custom sculptures that make a statement, whether it’s for a public space, cultural installation, exhibition, or event. Our team works across a variety of materials and scales, from stylised artistic forms to realistic figures and site-specific features. Every sculpture is crafted with durability, detail, and visual impact in mind.
From architectural models to educational replicas and exhibition features, we create detailed, high-quality models that bring ideas to life. Our process combines traditional craftsmanship with modern techniques like CNC routing, laser cutting, and 3D printing. Whether it’s a scaled terrain map or a custom-built display object, we ensure accuracy, finish, and functionality.
We work in close partnership with Traditional Owners, Indigenous communities and local artists to deliver projects that honour culture and share stories with authenticity and respect.
With deep experience in Indigenous design and cultural heritage work, we prioritise meaningful consultation, seeking direction, cultural insight, and permission every step of the way. Our team collaborates with Indigenous artists to bring their stories and artworks to life in powerful, place-based installations.
We proudly deliver projects across the Northern Territory and throughout Australia. Whether it’s remote community signage or major exhibition builds in urban centres, we have the experience, capability, and logistics to make it happen. All of our signage and interpretive displays can be packed and shipped nationwide, and our team regularly travels to install on-site.
We partnered with Gulliver’s Tavern in Kununurra to develop a vintage motorbike-inspired brand. From the logo and banner design to custom merchandise like stubby coolers and stickers, we created a strong visual identity that reflected the tavern’s charm, appealed to both locals and travellers, and turned souvenirs into lasting brand connections.
The Darwin Waterfront makes for a unique and magical setting for a holiday display. That’s why we were proud to take on a project for a surf shack themed Christmas display. Our team of skilled graphic designers and builders got to work creating a custom design that captured the laid-back, beachy vibe of a surf shack, while also incorporating the festive spirit of the holiday season.
This Visitor Centre was designed to celebrate the richness and complexity of the Jawoyn culture using sculpture, illustration and signage. Working closely with the Jawoyn community, The Interpretive Design Company and John Van Der Kolk the entire exhibition is themed on the Jawoyn five seasons calendar.
We designed and installed a custom-built Easter Maze at Casuarina Square. The maze featured colourful Easter theming, decorations and interactive elements, creating a fun and engaging seasonal attraction for kids and families.
