The Vernon Public Art Gallery once again presents Art from the Heart, the annual exhibition produced by elementary students from the Vernon school district.
“Engagement with the schools has increased considerably this year with the implementation of our education coordinator, Kelsie Balehowsky,” said VPAG executive director Dauna Kennedy Grant. “We are anticipating a great representation of the artwork being created in our local elementary schools.”
Art from the Heart opens Thursday, along with the exhibition Mniku by Mi’kmaq-Kelowna-based artist Jordan Bennett.
An opening reception for Art from the Heart takes place at the VPAG on Saturday, March 19 from 1 to 3 p.m. The event is open to the public and the community is invited to attend and enjoy coffee, tea, cookies and fruit punch.
