Reading List

Deepen Your Gallery Experience

Art often sparks questions: What inspired this piece? How do materials shape meaning? How do artists translate ideas into form? To help answer these questions, the Vernon Public Art Gallery has teamed up with the Okanagan Regional Library (ORL) to connect visual art with reading, learning, and cultural discovery. For each exhibition season, our staff curates a special selection of books and media designed to extend the ideas sparked by what you see on our walls.

Explore our current and past reading lists below to find your next great read.
