Bringing the Community Together 4 Culture!

The New Centre

We’re so Excited! The Greater Vernon Cultural Centre is being built in downtown Vernon beginning this year! With 31,000 square feet of indoor community space and an outdoor plaza of approximately 8,500 square feet, the $46 million cost includes land and site development, design, soft costs, building, and equipment. It will be a dynamic cultural hub for the region, co-locating the Vernon Public Art Gallery, the Greater Vernon Museum, and a presentation and event space available for the community. To learn more about the construction of this new facility, please visit the website of the Regional District of the North Okanagan which is developing this shared regional asset for the City of Vernon, The District of Coldstream, and Areas B and C.

The Campaign

The Greater Vernon Cultural Centre will be an exciting new venue bringing many benefits to our communities (see below). Like most community capital projects a portion, $28 million, has already been secured through municipal planning and budgeting and $5 million through municipal contributions and grants. The remaining $13 million is being sought through grants from provincial and federal governments, partner contributions, and foundations. The remaining $5 million is being raised through community-based donations, events, and gifts.
You are invited to get involved with your group, family or business. Learn more about volunteering, gifting and participating on this website.

Your investment will help construct an amazing new venue for our community’s arts and heritage, our youth, our downtown, and our regional economy.

An Extraordinary Cultural Venue

The Greater Vernon Cultural Centre will become the cultural hub for the region.

It will provide a new home for our public art gallery and museum, indoor and outdoor gathering space for our diverse and growing population, and an intimate presentation space to energize our downtown with live performances.

The facility will attract world-class exhibitions and performances to delight our community members and visitors, and be a place to nurture and celebrate our region’s artists. The new facility will protect our art and artifacts that record our history and collection of progress while offering much-needed space for performance and public gatherings. Our art and heritage collections are seriously at risk in their current locations, and this new facility will provide a safe and secure home with room to grow.
