The arts, in all forms, are truly a defining feature of cultures and communities. If we want to see our vibrant arts community continue to thrive after the COVID-19 pandemic is over, it’s important that we support them through this difficult time. The Vernon Public Art Gallery connects everyone in the area to visual arts in a way that’s accessible, approachable and inclusive. It’s somewhere that we can all visit to learn, share and grow.

The pandemic has created new challenges for everyone, including students at post-secondary institutions across the Interior. We don’t want to see anyone in a position where financial challenges can mean the difference between leaving school or paying rent, and that’s why we’re making sure this fund will be available for another school year.
