The North Okanagan Artists Alternative and Gallery Vertigo are inviting artists to participate in its annual open entry fundraising exhibition, Almost Famous.
“This is the fifth time Gallery Vertigo has hosted the Almost Famous event which has proven to be very popular in the past,” said Vertigo director Judith Jurica.
The exhibition consists of copies of masterpieces from art history. Paintings are auctioned at the conclusion of the exhibition to raise funds in support of gallery exhibitions and programming.
Deadline for delivery of finished canvasses to the gallery is July 23 at 4 p.m.
The work will displayed from the end of July until Aug. 20, where it will be auctioned off at the Full Regalia Gala at Vertigo.
Tickets to the event are $10 each and can be purchased in advance at Gallery Vertigo. Participating artists attend free of charge and may pick up a free ticket when dropping off their completed works. (One ticket per canvas.)
Contact the gallery at (250) 503-2297 for more information, or visit www.galleryvertigo.com. Vertigo is located at #1-3001 31st. St. (upstairs) in downtown Vernon.
