Vernon Council approves mural project despite concerns over ‘scary’ subjective art
Murals featuring people in hand-made masks will be set up around Vernon for the next five years.
Vernon City Council approved the request by the Vernon Public Art Gallery (VPAG) to exhibit the ‘Behind the Mask’ pieces on city owned buildings, and granted a sign bylaw amendment allowing the murals to go up on privately owned buildings.
The proposed mural designs that feature pieces from the ‘Behind the Mask’ project were presented to Vernon City Council at the regular meeting Monday, May 30.
