January 26, 2020 – Vernon, BC: On January 30th, 2020, David Doody: Sculptor and UBCO professor, will be speaking at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, as part of their UBCO Lecture Series.  The VPAG has partnered with the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies at the University of British Columbia Okanagan to provide an opportunity for the local arts community to experience a university-level lecture and speak to artists directly. During his presentation, David will focus on his personal practices and the idea of collaboration. He will share about The Uptown Mural Project, an urban-art initiative he started in the community of Rutland BC. The goal of this project was the beautification of Rutland and to encourage community involvement.



“Our UBCO lecture series is an opportunity for members of our community to step up their knowledge and delve deeper into how they explore art.  We are pleased to be able to tap into some of the professional expertise available to us through our close proximity to the UBC Okanagan.” Dauna Kennedy, Executive Director



The UBCO Lecture Series is a great opportunity for the arts community to connect. It creates a welcoming and non-intimating environment for the public to learn and interact with each other and the artists. Its programs like this that support the tight-knit arts community here in Vernon.
