What is Vernon Public Art Gallery?

Mission: The VPAG exists to connect our community to the creative presence and possibilities within the visual arts through its exhibitions and activities. (Revised 2009) Our mandate is five-fold: • to exhibit, collect and preserve local, regional, national and international art of the highest possible standards; • to promote visual arts in the broader community; • to provide information, education, challenge and inspiration in the visual arts; • to encourage appreciation of and participation in the visual arts; and • to provide a meeting place, facility and institution for the benefit of the citizens of Greater Vernon.
