“Charity is a virtue of the heart. Gifts and alms are the expressions, not the essence, of this virtue.”
-- Joseph Addison
There are many ways to support the Vernon Public Art Gallery:
1. Exhibition Sponsorship
Sponsoring an exhibition helps the Gallery to maintain professional standards and bring the highest calibre of exhibitions possible to Vernon. Sponsorship allows the Gallery to pay artist exhibition fees set by CARFAC (Canadian Artists Representation/Le Front Des Artistes Canadiens) to the artists exhibiting in the Topham Brown Memorial Gallery and the Caroline Galbraith Gallery.
• $1500 Topham Brown Memorial Gallery
• $1000 Caroline Galbraith Gallery
• $500 Community Gallery
• $500 Up Front Gallery
Sponsorship includes:
• Company logo and name on appropriate Gallery wall in vinyl for the duration of the exhibit
• Name and/or logo on our website for the duration of the exhibit
• Logo on invitations & posters
• Logo in newsletters
• Recognition in our Annual Report
2. Donations / Endowment Fund Contributions
Cash donations are always welcome and play an important role in the operations of the Gallery. As a registered charity, we will issue a charitable tax donation receipt, for your cash donation.
Cash contributions can also be directed to our endowment fund and are recognized on the Gallery’s Spirit of Vernon donor wall.
