In 2023, just a year after the successful 'OYFC x GV: Queer Reflections' exhibition, Morgan’s 3 puzzle jugs created in response to an object from the GV collection were added to the permanent collection.

Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston
Following UKYA's 'G R A F T' exhibition at The Harris in 2019, Dowdall's work was chosen by the museums' LGBTQ+ group to be added into the permanent collections in order to better reflect Preston's wider community. The works were then featured in The Harris' 'Camp in The Collection' online series.
