Marielle Soni Obituary – Cause of Death: In loving memory of Marielle Soni, a Senior Art consultant and inaugural manager of Artbank’s Melbourne showroom.
Marielle Soni passed away at the age of 51 on Friday, March 24. Her cause of death was not mentioned.
Marielle Soni was Senior Art consultant and inaugural manager of Artbank’s Melbourne showroom from 2004 until leaving Artbank in 2015 and as such was integral to its initial and ongoing success. She returned to Artbank directly from managing Jilamara Arts centre on Melville island in the northern Territory, bringing not only a deep knowledge of the art practice of the Tiwi islands, but an independent way of thinking, a strategic outlook and a resilience that proved invaluable to the organisation.
“Marielle was a champion of artists and their practices, counting many artists among her close friends, and, most importantly for Artbank, genuinely interested in engaging people with art – she was passionate about the role of art in building community,” – Tribute by Geoff Cassidy Artbankās Director from 2006 -2012.
