&nbsp;<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.&nbsp; 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>
