ADC Annual Report 2021

Chair’s Message
Throughout 2021 the Australian Design
Centre Board was proud to support
the CEO and her team in the work that
they do. The Board is united in its view
that ADC finished 2021 in excellent
shape having delivered a full suite of
activity pivoting to support makers
and designers in every way despite
the extended lockdown from June to
October. Supporting 743 artists and
$120,000 in self-generated (non-grant)
income for artists is a huge impact.
I thank the directors on the ADC Board,
Louise Ingram, Gregory Dean, Andrew
Simpson, Frank Howarth, Jenny Green
and Bridget Kennedy and CEO and
Artistic Director Lisa Cahill and her
team for the collegiate, intelligent
and sensible approach to ensuring a
successful 2021.
We are immensely grateful for the
support of the creative collaborators,
partners, donors, volunteers and
audiences who have supported ADC
this year.
We are all excited about what is ahead
for 2022.
