The Art Craft Design Special Interest Group
The Art Craft Design Special Interest Group draws together museum professionals from across the sector to focus attention on and respond to the issues that impact on the presentation, collection and interpretation of art, craft and design, our specific interests, our institutions and our colleagues.
The Art Craft Design Special Interest Group (ACDSIG) is a lobbying group within Museums Australia. The elected committee ensures Museums Australia recognises the role of visual art, craft and design within the broader museum and gallery sector and how art gallery professionals (including those in the private sector) work with visual artists, crafts people and designers.
In addition, the ACDSIG ensures a profile for the visual arts, craft and design is maintained within the annual Museums Australia Conference programs and provides Museums Australia Council advice in regard to visual art, craft and design issues.
Mission Statement
To involve members in identifying issues and creating opportunities for exchange and innovation in the arts, craft and design sector in Museums Australia.
The ADCSIG understands that the 'museum' sector includes art museums, public art galleries - state, metropolitan and regional art galleries (institutions and individuals) - Crafts Council galleries, galleries in tertiary institutions, contemporary art spaces, artist-run spaces and private sector art workers.
