The Vernon Public Art Gallery has closed its doors to the public until further notice, due to the concerns surrounding COVID-19.

The gallery will be fully transitioning to an online format, where they will continue to deliver their regular programming, to help ease the stress of isolation at this time.

The gallery will be launching its online programming on March 27, with a virtual art lesson.

The VPAG’s online programming will be posted on their YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook accounts, as well as on their website.

The VPAG’s Learning and Community Engagement Curator, Kelsie will be live streaming tours of their current SD#22 exhibition, Art from the Heart, as well as Bryan Ryley’s exhibition Morning Briefing.

The gallery will also be providing virtual art lessons for those at home needing a creative outlet or simply looking for something to do.

“This is a stressful and uncertain time for everyone. In an effort to help ease the situation, the VPAG has decided to continue to provide opportunities for creative thought and practice through online activities to support our community as we practice social distancing. We hope our online tours and activities will help ease stress throughout this lonely and isolated time. We will be introducing additional online programs soon, so check our social media accounts to stay up to date,” said Dauna Kennedy, Executive Director
