<span style="font-family:arial,helvetica neue,helvetica,sans-serif">The Board of Directors and Executive Director Dauna Kennedy Grant, invite you and a guest to the opening reception of the annual member's exhibition
<em>Exposed! </em>Enjoy an evening of contemporary at the Vernon Public Art Gallery.</span><br>
<br>
<span style="line-height:1.6em">The exhibition contains two and three dimensional works of art of modest sizes and is a celebration of creativity and local artists. The artwork will be available for purchase and part proceeds support ongoing exhibitions and
programming at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. This is a fantastic opportunity for the community to support local artists and the Vernon Public Art Gallery while finding unique original artworks to add to your collection.</span>

<span lang="EN-US">The ambiguous title <em>Exposed!</em> is open to interpretation. Artists are free to use the medium of their choice for their artwork, which adds a lovely variety of pieces to the show.</span></p>
<p style="margin: 1em 0px; padding: 0px; color: rgb(96, 96, 96); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 15px; line-height: 150%; text-align: left;">
<span lang="EN-US">The exhibition is also a fundraiser for the Gallery. All the art is available for purchase and proceeds support the artist(s) who created the work, with a small percentage going back to support the Gallery. Because the works of art are of
a modest size, the prices are reasonable and a great opportunity for art lovers to own or gift an original piece of art. <br>
<br>
"VPAG looks forward each year to showcasing member's artworks in this exhibition. The public can look forward to a wide array of artistic expression and execution, as artists explore the theme of this show,
<em>Exposed!"<br>
