AMaGA Awards 2024 – Introducing: ‘The AMaGAs’, Australian Museums and Galleries Association, April 2024
AMaGA’s annual awards program is dedicated to celebrating, acknowledging, and showcasing achievement within Australia’s museum and gallery sector. Throughout the long history of this peer-reviewed initiative, we have shone a spotlight on excellence in the sector, ranging from publications and branding projects to exhibitions and public programming.
Continuing the redevelopment work announced in 2023, we’re excited to reveal the latest evolution of the Awards. The integration of the previous MAGNA and MAPDA programs is now complete and unified under a single banner: The AMaGA Awards (affectionately referred to as ‘The AMaGAs’). This consolidation aims to streamline the nomination process and enhance accessibility and community engagement for sector recognition. Like our museums and galleries, these awards will continue to evolve over time to mirror the shifting priorities of AMaGA, our members, and the wider sector.
The AMaGAs have been meticulously designed not only to honour and promote continuous improvement and growth but also to serve as a platform for inspiring and acknowledging social impact and innovation across the collecting sector. We invite you to participate as we continue to elevate and celebrate the achievements of Australia’s vibrant museum and gallery community.
