Dear Medallion Members,
I am humbled and honored to have the opportunity to advance the Quinlan
Visual Arts Center’s mission of bringing visual arts to life, and to the life of the
community through education, exhibition and engagement. The Quinlan’s rich
seventy-two year history has been instrumental in inspiring artists, offering
quality education through visual arts for all ages, and building a home for a
burgeoning community of art lovers. The Quinlan serves as an artistic beacon
in Northeast Georgia, cementing it’s status as a leader in creativity and social
entrepreneurship, for the mutual benefit of our immediate and extended
communities.
Our Medallion Members are an integral part of helping the Quinlan continue to
paint its big picture. You are direct stakeholders in our shared vision of positively
influencing our cultural environment. With Thanksgiving fervor in the air, it is
YOU the Quinlan wants to thank. Your generosity and commitment to the
Quinlan should never be underestimated.
Building on the Quinlan’s strong foundation, the leadership of those who came
before me, the expertise of community leaders selflessly shared, the thousands
of volunteer hours of our working Boards and dedicated individuals, the financial
commitments of individuals, sponsors, corporations, foundations…I pledge my
efforts to honor and further develop, the stellar legacy of the Quinlan. I look
forward to cross-purpose community partnerships and collaborations, through
exploration, education and celebration of visual art and design, and to enhance
our member experience.
With warm regards and unbridled excitement, I look forward to writing the next
chapters of the Quinlan story, with you.
