Gallery Features Contemporary Aviation Exhibition

The Board of Directors and Executive Director, Dauna Kennedy, invite you and a guest to the opening reception of Children of Icarus by Keith Harder at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, on the evening of March 14th.



“Harder’s photorealistic work of cloud formations and aviation are stunning to look at, but this exhibition challenges you to look deeper into the context in which the individual pieces were created. We are excited to bring this work to Vernon and hope you make a point of stopping in to see Children of Icarus.”

-Dauna Kennedy, VPAG Executive Director


Keith Harder’s exhibition Children of Icarus, featured in the Topham Brown Memorial Gallery from March 14 – May 11, brings together two distinct bodies of paintings, both of which directly and indirectly reference aviation and the human condition. The most recent large-scale paintings in the series titled ILL Winds portray the meteorological phenomena of cloud formations while the small-scale, intimate paintings from the series titled Anamnesis highlight the details of decrepit fuselages of vintage airplanes.


This exhibition is proudly sponsored by the Kelowna International Airport.

The opening reception takes place from 6:00 p.m. – 8:00 p.m. at the Vernon Public Art Gallery located at 3228 31st Ave Vernon BC. Open to the public, admission is by donation.
