Australia needs an innovative design-focused future to help solve the big challenges. Tackling the effects of climate change, making cities more liveable and the impact of an ageing population are problems that face us today. A focus on STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts/Design, and Mathematics) in our education system is essential for the future innovative, creative thinkers to be able to tackle these issues. Australian Design Centre is a platform that showcases, mentors and promotes makers and designers by: -making exhibitions that connect creative ideas to audiences -building marketplaces for artists to test and sell their work -presenting conversations and events about design, craft and creative ideas As a not-for-profit enterprise we need your help to do this work. You can help by visiting our exhibitions, buying from our retail space Object Shop, becoming an ADC Friend or making a donation to help make our future more secure.
