The 6th Annual Riot on the Roof

Presented by VPAG and title sponsor Dianna Robertson of Murphy Battista LLP

Downtown Vernon Parkade Rooftop

Saturday August 23, 2014 @ 7:00pm

"Riot on the Roof carves out a much needed space for youth to express and
expose themselves to affordable and diverse art forms in Vernon."

-Dauna Kennedy-Grant, VPAG Executive Director

Riot on the Roof is a night of alternative art aimed at engaging young
people aged 16 to 25 in the arts and cultural sector in our community.  The
event is celebrating its 6th year and will take place on top of the Downtown
Vernon Parkade at 7pm on Saturday, August 23rd. Tickets are only $10.00 and
can be purchased at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, on our website
(www.vernonpublicartgallery.com), or at Bean Scene.

"Every year Riot on the Roof changes and develops, offering new and exciting
ways to showcase local talent and inspire youth to get involved with art in
our community. Last year, Riot on the Roof was enjoyed by upwards of six
hundred people and I look forward to seeing a great turnout again this
year!"

-Dauna Kennedy-Grant, VPAG Executive Director

This year's Riot on the Roof will feature two stages of live music, graffiti
artists, installation art, live painting, chalk art, spoken word poetry,
break dancing, and much more! You can participate in events leading up to
