ASC CEO Kieren Perkins OAM congratulated Mr Hore and the wider working group on the draft.
“We wanted to create something meaningful that was part of our identity and that represented ASC and what we stand for,” said Mr. Perkins.
“As a leader in the Australian sports sector, we play an important role both nationally and internationally and this artwork tells the story of the key role sport plays in the lives of all Australians.
“With the Green and Gold Decade underway, Australia is fortunate to host a number of major events. All of these people will be walking on the land of our indigenous people, and we have the opportunity and responsibility to showcase the oldest living culture on earth.”
The artwork reflects how the ASC guides, supports and provides opportunities for all communities to engage in sport while increasing elite success and inspiring future generations.
The ASC’s focus on developing careers, celebrating diversity and achieving achievements beyond the sporting agenda is also considered.
Erik Wilson, ASC’s indigenous peoples liaison officer and Walbunja man, said the artwork will help break down barriers.
“Not only will it provide a warm and welcoming environment for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people visiting the AIS campus in Canberra, but it will also convey to people that the Australian Sports Commission has people from all communities across Australia recognizes and welcomes,” Wilson said.
The artwork and its design elements will be featured in signage at the AIS campus in Canberra, the European Training Center in Italy, and the ASC offices in Melbourne and Sydney, as well as on uniforms, online platforms and publications.
