“Each year our community comes together to show us their support through
Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts. This iconic Greater Vernon event not only
provides the VPAG with the funding we require to bring quality exhibitions
and programming to our area, but it provides an event for the arts
community to come together and connect. These are times where we need each
other more than ever, so the gallery wants to continue this loved event
providing the opportunity for the public to come together in a safe way in
their homes and celebrate art.” Dauna Kennedy, Executive Director

The Vernon Public Art Gallery is a not-for-profit, charitable organization
committed to fostering an appreciation of the visual arts for all members
of the community. As the oldest art gallery in the Interior Region of
British Columbia, the VPAG has been an important part of cultural tourism,
and a centre for educational and cultural activities in the Okanagan for
60+ years. The VPAG is constantly growing and is currently looking forward
to its exciting transition into its larger facility at the new Cultural
Centre in Vernon. We hope to consistently develop and increase our funds to
allow us to promote visual arts in the broader community by presenting more
quality exhibitions, educational programs and annual community events.
