The afternoon will include a screening of the documentary, free refreshments, and a Live chat with the lead performer and director of “Hey Viola!”, a musical exploration of civil rights trailblazer, Viola Desmond—the fearless woman featured on your $10 bill. It is a smashing tour-de-force performance by acclaimed Canadian jazz and blues singer Krystle Dos Santos, directed by Tracey Power.
Join us at the Vernon Public Art Gallery for a diverse exploration of art-making materials and art processes through age-appropriate art activities. We invite parents and guardians to bring their little ones under the age of 5 to explore art-making with non-toxic materials in this fun and social program that encourages creative self-expression while developing fine and gross motor skills and sensory awareness. Make sure you dress for the mess as all are invited to join in on the fun! Parents must accompany children for the duration of the session and admission is by donation.
Take a drive out to the country and discover Nancy Vince in her “happy place”.
This is a full working studio with 3 rooms and a hallway gallery of whimsical and inspirational art. See where this artist creates her illustrations which then become cards, coloring books, mugs, metal prints, puzzles and more. Check out another room where she frames her work, creates mugs, coasters, metal prints, puzzles, and any other products she can add her art to. The third room and the hallway gallery showcase the finished artwork and art pieces that have all been created in her studio. This artist loves to share what she does and would be happy to have you visit.
