2011 "Medallion Award" Recipients

Medallion awards were established at the Quinlan Visual Arts Center in 1992 in order to honor the exceptional volunteers that contribute significant personal time, expertise and resources to the center, enhancing the organization in a way that only the people that truly care about it can. The bornze 'medallions' are created by Joe Emery from an original mold by the late Bob Owens, proceeds from the medals are in turn donated to the Bob Owens scholarship fund at North Georgia College and State University.

Dear Quinlan Friends and Supporters

We are grateful to you for your interest and involvement in the Quinlan as a partner and collaborator. The Quinlan leadership has been striving to offer only the finest quality art exhibitions, educational opportunities, and community partnerships.

You, our patrons, artists and funders, have shown a phenomenal level of support. For your continued kindness, we can't thank you enough. Please consider a donation to the 2011 Annual Fund Campaign.  An Annual Fund creates an environment of giving at the Quinlan that will keep the wonderful programs, talents and energies of our members flowing and improving.

With the help of our members and artists, we have already reached 64% of our goal, and there is still time for you to make a difference by making a year-end gift to the Annual Fund. Please keep in mind that all contributions to the Annual Fund, unlike other purchases at the center, are 100% tax deductible.

Without you, we simply could not produce the quality classes, exhibitions and community outreach that you have now come to expect from us. Your contributions affect our mission is "Bringing visual arts to life and to the life of the community"
