We see the next four years as an opportunity for ambitious programming that positions designers and craftspeople as creative problem-solvers during a challenging and critical time for Australia and the world. Designers and craftspeople are well placed to take a lead role in a range of critical issues including action on climate change, the politics of diversity and inclusion, the future of work at a time of increasing automation and the health and well-being of people, particularly as our community ages. Creative responses to these issues are twofold – on the one hand adding to public debate and on the other hand continuing the time-honoured contribution to artefact making and aesthetics. 

Below is the ADC 2020-2021 Creative Program and Strategic Plan for 2020-2024.
