Artists Unleashed features a diverse array of artworks across all mediums. We loosed the reins for the first exhibit of 2024, giving artists the freedom to choose their own themes, subject matter and mediums. We're looking forward to seeing what our members create!
The show will run daily from January 6 to 30th, at the Vernon Community Arts Centre.
"Altered Realities, Abstracted Creations" invites you to explore the the beauty of ambiguity through abstract and representational art. This exhibit features a range of paintings, sculptures, and prints from Okanagan artists, and runs February 2 to 25 at the Vernon Community Arts Centre.
FREE
Hours: Mon-Thurs 9-9, Fri-Sat 9-5, Sun 12-4

Create and swap miniature works of art at the Vernon Community Arts Centre. Artist Trading Cards (ATCs) are small pieces of art that are traded around the world, just like hokey or Pokeman cards. Artists create, trade and collect original art at organized “swap” events, in person, or online. The only official rules for ATCs is the size: 2.5″ x 3.5″ and you cannot trade someone else's art. Bring cards to trade, or make them here! All materials will be provided. (Blank artist cards are for sale at the Vernon Arts Centre for those that wish to pre-make cards or just stock up on supplies).
FREE to attend. Please pre-register at Vernon Winter Carnival, as space is limited.

Landscapes, whether real or imagined, encourage us to take a moment to explore, and experience new worlds. For this exhibit, local artists were tasked to draw inspiration from the world around them and translate it with their own unique vision and artistic style.
Join us this March and venture into familiar and unfamiliar territory and unique landscapes at the Vernon Community Arts Centre Gallery. Participating artists are all members of the Arts Council of the North Okanagan, the not-for-profit society that runs the VCAC.
Exhibit is open to the public daily, March 1 to April 2, 2024.
Hours: Monday-Thursday 9-9, Friday-Saturday 9-5, Sunday 12-4
