Dear Supporter,
It has just been announced on BBC Radio 4’s Front Row that the William Morris Gallery is one of ten finalists battling it out for this prestigious award. The Art Fund Prize for Museum of the Year 2013 is the UK’s largest arts prize, celebrating the very best museums and galleries, highlighting and rewarding the innovative and creative ways they bring objects and collections to life for the public.
An independent panel of judges comes together to put the spotlight on the ten museums competing for the Prize. The winner will be presented with £100,000 and crowned ‘Museum of the Year 2013’ at an award ceremony in London on 4 June.
This a huge honour for everyone involved and we’d like to reiterate our thanks to our funders, the creative design team led by Pringle Richards Sharratt, our advocates and expert advisers and especially to our volunteers and visitors, who’ve responded so warmly and enthusiastically to the recent transformation and continue to give the Gallery a very special atmosphere.
We face stiff competition from the nine other finalists that include major institutions like the Horniman Museum and Dulwich Picture Gallery, but we’re determined to give it everything we’ve got over the coming weeks. More information on how you can support our campaign will be available soon but for now we’d ask you just to tell all your friends and help us spread the word!
With very best wishes,
Anna Mason
Manager, Museum, Gallery and Archives Service
