The Vernon Public Art Gallery’s most anticipated event of the summer season is back in its full garden party glory! The 37th annual art auction: Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts will be returning to the beautiful garden landscape at the Mackie Lake House this year, taking place on July 19th, 2023. The event will feature a collection of curated artwork generously donated by local artists and all proceeds will support the VPAG’s purpose of connecting our community to the creative presence and possibilities within the visual arts through its exhibitions and activities.For over three decades, the Vernon Public Art Gallery’s annual Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts fundraiser has been a staple event in the Greater Vernon community, providing an opportunity for art enthusiasts and philanthropists to come together and support a great cause. Each year, Midsummer’s Eve of the Arts showcases the diverse talents of local artists, whose works are auctioned off to raise funds for the VPAG’s exhibitions and programs. The impacts from this event are far reaching and only possible through the generosity of our local artists, businesses, volunteers and event attendees.
