New exhibitions at VPAG

The Vernon Public Art Gallery has announced its upcoming exhibitions launching on March 17.

Among the unique and varied exhibitions are pieces by talented individual artists as well as sections derived from collaborating artists and collections, such as:

• #techboyz is a series of paintings that bring together different strategies and techniques to express Brigitta Kocsis’s relationship towards the subject of everyday life for young adults. Capturing a special moment in time where they regain a sense of freedom after long periods of isolation, she brings together different strategies and techniques to express her relationship to the subject formally and conceptually.
• Art from the Heart is the annual exhibition by elementary students from School District No.22. Their artwork delights viewers with their creativeness under the guidance of their art teacher. Art and Soul is made up of artwork created from School District No.22 displaying a maturity of handling various mediums and more importantly, demonstrating a strong conceptual approach.

The opening reception for these exhibitions will be held on March 17 from 6 to 8 p.m. at the Vernon Public Art Gallery. The gallery will be checking vaccine passports for this reception.
