In 2024 FLAG and Museum Development West Midlands jointly funded a project to enable Leamington Spa AG&M to work with Proud Youth Leamington, a community group established by Warwickshire Pride, to produce a zine.
A display in the hammam area, entitled Queertopia, told the story of the project, showing artwork from the zine alongside museum items and a film created by Willowmann Productions in 2017, which celebrated LGBTQ+ stories from the local community.
This project has now been entered in Museum Development Midlands' the Power of Place: Midlands Museum Award in the category of Inclusive Impact Award. The winner will be announced in a ceremony on 12 November at Thinktank in Birmingham.
