Covid-19 Survey of Craft and Design Practitioners

Covid-19 is having an enormous impact globally. This survey will help us to understand the specific level of impact on Australian creative practitioners and arts workers in craft and design and to continue the work that we do to advocate on behalf of everyone in our sector.

This survey is an initiative of the Australian Design Centre on behalf of all of the organisations in the Australian Craft and Design Centres (ACDC) network: artisan, Australian Design Centre, Australian Tapestry Workshop, Canberra Glassworks, Central Craft, Craft Victoria, Craft ACT, Design Tasmania, FORM, Guildhouse, JamFactory, Sturt Gallery and Studios.
