Being acknowledged by the MA has given us confidence that we’re doing high quality, important work with marginalised groups, and it’s inspired us to be even more ambitious in future. The award has also boosted our success with funding applications and external advocacy. Even just entering was a useful exercise in celebrating our own achievements, which we don’t do nearly enough in museums. Quote by Ashleigh Hibbins, Perth Museum
