Art Fund Museum of the Year

Every year, Art Fund champions museums and galleries across the UK by highlighting a top 5 from a list of applicants. Throughout my time with the charity, I have designed the look of each campaign for print, digital and the winner announcement event. Below is a selection of highlights.
