Congratulations to OZQN member June Brown who is r Congratulations to OZQN member June Brown who is recognised in the Australia Day Honours for outstanding service to community and creative arts.

Repost @wangarattaartgallery with @use.repost
・・・
Wangaratta Art Gallery wishes to congratulate June Brown who has today been recognised in the Australia Day Honours for outstanding service to community.

June has been awarded an Order of Australia (OAM) Medal, for service to the Creative Arts. June has made an exceptional lifetime commitment to the quilting and textile craft and art forms at a local and national level. Her practice and contributions have raised the profile of these art forms, forged new techniques and simultaneously activated and enriched communities and organisations in the sector. She has cultivated the textile art practice and medium, and advanced quilting as an art form in Australia.

Importantly, June has collected women's stories, recorded women’s history, improved women’s wellbeing, and shared the stories of Australian Culture, landscapes, heritage and identity.

June has donated countless volunteer hours to projects, festivals, committees, and the service of Wangaratta Art Gallery. In recent years, June has shifter her support to Philanthropic funding both through her personal funds and her family’s Foundation ‘Kyamba’. Such a long-term, selfless and passionate contribution with substantial impacts on community wellbeing, cultural growth and enrichment, deserves recognition. 

Congratulations June, the Wangaratta Community celebrates your achievement 👏🏻⭐️🏅
