CAPITAL CAMPAIGN AND FUND DEVELOPMENT INTERN

ABOUT THE VPAG

The Vernon Public Art Gallery is a registered non-profit organization that services the Greater Vernon Area and surrounding communities and is the largest art gallery in the North Okanagan. Located in the heart of downtown Vernon, the gallery serves as a hub for arts and culture in the region.

In October of 2018 funding was approved for the construction of a new purpose-built facility to house the Gallery and other cultural organizations, making this a time of exciting growth and expansion, as well as cementing the Gallery's role as a catalyst for re-energizing the downtown core.  The Gallery maintains a collection of 600+ works of historic and contemporary art of both local and national importance. An average of 18 exhibitions are hosted annually with accompanying workshops, educational tours, academic presentations, and community-based discussion panels.
