In 2021, we present the work of over 700+ artists in 13 exhibitions, and 100+ events, 14 ADC On Tour openings and 150+ citywide festival events for Sydney Craft Week.

In the lead up to Christmas, ADC's retail space, Object Shop has taken over the whole lower gallery. Featuring limited edition jewellery, ceramics, textiles, glass and cards, all hand crafted by over 100 leading Australian makers and emerging talent new stock is arriving daily.

Taking inspiration from the work of OzHarvest to feed people in need, we challenged the Object Shop makers to make a Christmas decoration using OzHarvest’s signature yellow.
