Mission Arts member/artist and treasured volunteer Carol Giuliany was awarded Mission Arts Life Membership at the 2021-2022 AGM in recognition of her outstanding devotion to the arts and for dedication to the mission and guiding principles of the Mission Beach Community Arts Centre.

Carol has served in most every capacity as volunteer at Mission Arts over the past 8 years, including as General Committee Member and Secretary on the Management Committee (past), as Gallery Shop Coordinator, and on various subcommittees (including Exhibitions, Events, Shop and MATEs).

She is an active participant in Mission Arts’ weekly Art From The Heart (AFTH) Acrylic Painting Group and monthly Oiled Painting Group, the 'Green' Painting Group and the Mission Arts Theatre Ensemble (MATEs). Her love of the local area and its flora & fauna often form the subject of her paintings which have been exhibited in many Mission Arts community exhibitions.

Carol's selfless devotion over many years to supporting local artists and lending an ear, a hand, and a smile as well as assistance, energy and enthusiasm to all those involved with Mission Arts' program of exhibitions, events & activities makes her a most deserving recipient of this award.

Mission Arts extends our thanks and congratulations to Carol for her ongoing support of local art, local artists and our local community arts centre.
