Who: Vernon Public Art Gallery

 

The Vernon Public Art Gallery is proud to host Art and Soul, an annual
exhibition of artwork by students in grades 8-12, from School District #22.
>From April 24 -May 22, students from all high schools in the Greater Vernon
area have the opportunity to display their artwork in a professional setting
at the gallery. With all the bells and whistles of a big exhibition -
including the right lighting, an opening reception, and plenty of community
buzz - young artists get a taste of what it's like to show their work to the
public, often for the first time.

 

"Art and Soul is the next step from our elementary school show, Art From the
Heart", says Executive Director Dauna Kennedy. "It's always exciting to see
the development of creativity in these students and how their artwork
expresses that. I encourage you to come out to our opening reception and
join us in celebrating the accomplishment of these young emerging artists".

 

Works in the secondary school exhibition are displayed alongside
professional Canadian artists elsewhere in the Gallery, which holds four
exhibition spaces. For students thinking about post-secondary education in
the arts, showing next to established artists is an inspiration and a
motivator to continue developing their own artistic styles while still in
high school. Each year the diversity of mediums and subject matters, and the
inclusion of some work intended for university applications, creates a
unique and varied exhibition of strong student artwork.

 

Art and Soul will be open for viewing from April 24 to May 22. The artwork
will fill the walls of the Caroline Galbraith, Community and Up-Front
Galleries at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, and will run concurrently with
Scott Waters' exhibition, The Keeper of Nothingness. 

 

Members, friends, family and the general public art invited to attend the
opening reception on Thursday, April 24 from 6-8pm. Admission to the Gallery
is by donation. VPAG is open Monday - Friday 

 

from 10am-5pm, and Saturdays from 11am-4pm. For more information on our
