Plans for Vernon cultural facility outlined
VERNON, B.C. — A consulting team has outlined the general features for a multi-purpose cultural facility for Greater Vernon.
Diamond Schmidt Architects is recommending a 57-thousand square foot space, to house an art galley, museum and other public space.
Greater Vernon Advisory chair Juliette Cunningham says the study has shown the groups can share a facility — and benefit from it.
“It creates bigger opportunities for reaching a greater audience, so that’s really positive. The evidence shows that happens. The attendance for both the co-located organizations really goes up dramatically,” Cunningham told Beach Radio News following a special GVAC meeting at the Okanagan Regional Library, due to ongoing renovations at the RDNO office.
