The Vernon Community Arts Centre is holding a special art exhibit and artisan sale, dedicated to the humble mug. We all have them, and we all love them, but can you choose just one?!

Local artists from the Arts Council of the North Okanagan have created a mountain of functional ceramic mugs along with fabulous fine art pieces. You’ll find mug inspired sculptures, prints, paintings and more!

Some of Vernon’s best coffee shops and bistros are also getting involved with a friendly ‘battle of the baristas’. They are showing off their best coffee art and you get to vote for your favourite! Voting gives you a chance to win a colossal sized cappuccino prize for yourself, and a magnificent and mammoth sized mug for the winning cafe! This fun competition has been created so spark some fun community engagement while paying tribute to all the cafes, bistros, and restaurants who work the front lines to fill our mugs with fuel and our hearts with simple joy.

Mugs of May runs from May 7th to 31st, Monday to Thursday 9am-9pm, and Friday & Saturday, 9am-5pm.

Stop by and support local!
