The Guildhouse Collections project with the South Australian Museum has provided us with the opportunity to further explore our Culture and the Cultural Practices of our Old People and Ancestors, adding to what we have learnt from our Elders over many years. It has provided us with the opportunity to share some of our journey in trying to revive Cultural Practices that may not have occurred in our language group nations for over 100 years. For us, this contributes to a life-long journey of learning, trying to bring back some of what has been lost due to the impact of colonisation on Our People.

To have an opportunity like this has completely revitalised what I feel is possible for my practice. I am far more ambitious now when I think about the next 5 years of my career and what I hope to achieve, exploring international opportunities, funding and a further mentorship. And the seed of all of this growth was Catapult.

2022 Sector Survey
2022 was a year of revival, with Guildhouse maintaining its strong financial position.
Substantial growth across our diversified funding streams provided a 51% increase to our year-by-year revenue. This exponential growth in revenue enabled us to invest in our operations and deliver an expanded program of initiatives that directly benefited the artistic community.
In 2022 Guildhouse continued its positive impact, expending 87% of our revenue on the employment of creative workers. We employed more artists than ever before, increasing our investment in artist fees by 35% when compared to 2021.
Philanthropic funding flourished by an exceptional 247% compared to 2021 through strategic project grants and individual giving. Continued support from the Ian Potter Foundation and James and Diana Ramsay Foundation underpins our flagship artistic programs. New commitments from the Day Family Foundation and Adès Family Foundation supported investment in new member services. And notably, our Creative Champions and newly established Creative Visonaries donor circles secured long-term opportunities for artists.
Significant traction was realised through our social enterprise, Guildhouse Professional Services. The two year investment by the
Government of South Australia, through the Department of Innovation and Skills, towards business development in this area resulted in an increase of 149% of earned revenue compared with the previous year. This continues to demonstrate the value of artistic practice in the public realm and provides vital employment of creative personnel.
We acknowledge the ongoing support of the Government of South Australia through Arts South Australia’s commitment of multiyear funding through the Arts Organisations Program stream. This financial continuity fortifies Guildhouse’s ability to grow the volume of its service to the sector in 2023 and beyond.
