Vernon Community Arts Centre is pleased to present “Encouraging Ability in the Arts”, an exhibit featuring works from the Joining Hands Program.

Joining Hands is an art based program providing adults with diverse abilities an encouraging environment to explore their artistic skills. Working with beginner, emerging and established artists, we focus on the development of individual ability and confidence in the arts. Our belief is that through art we create a sense of belonging in an inclusive community.

Come down to the Arts Centre and watch ceramic artist, Sabrina Boulay, while she works on a large scale coil pot. Coiling pottery was one of the primary potting methods prior to the development of pottery wheels. Coil pots are sturdy in large forms and have been used for thousands of years across the globe.

Demonstrations will be held at the Vernon Community Arts Centre on Sunday, September 24th between 12:30-1:30pm, and Monday, September 25th, 4:30-5:30pm. If weather permits, we will be outside on the front lawn of the Arts Centre.
