Art Gallery Prepared to Celebrate a Successful Referendum

The Vernon Public Art Gallery is ready to celebrate! Bringing this project to referendum has been a long time coming and the Gallery wants to say thanks to all who helped move this project forward.



“The momentum and support we are receiving for a “yes vote” for a new Greater Vernon Cultural Centre has been amazing. We are receiving overwhelming support from all sectors of the community. There have been some incredible ambassadors helping and working to share our message and educate the public on the benefits of this important project – some we asked for assistance, but others, they came by the Gallery, picked up some posters and signs and are campaigning on their own behalf. It’s been wonderful.” – Dauna Kennedy, Executive Director.



“We are very proud and fortunate to have had such great people working together towards the vision of a cultural facility for Greater Vernon.” – Roger Lamoureaux, Greater Vernon Museum and Archives Interim Executive Director.


Join us at our party as we wait for the results of the referendum to come in.



Hosted by the Greater Vernon Culture Centre Champions, arts and culture supporters are invited to attend the Referendum Party on October 20 at 7:30 pm, as a way to say “thank you” for working hard as cultural ambassadors in our community, in anticipation of a successful result in the upcoming cultural referendum.



This event is open to members, volunteers, supporters, and friends in the arts and culture community. Guests will enjoy appetizers, beer and wine with fellow supporters.
