An art project funded by the Province and hosted by the Social Planning Council, the city and Downtown Vernon Association has been installed in the downtown core.
The “Respect Lives Here” project is a series of alphabet boards that ask the question “Who am I?”
The boards have been set up along 31st Street for the next few months, at Nolan's Pharmasave, It’s Bath Time - Dog Grooming and North Okanagan Youth and Family Services.
Several groups worked with community artist Ryan Ryan to find the words that best described themselves and then painted the poetic prose onto large black boards.
“The resulting art pieces are poignant, powerful and absolutely beautiful. They need to be experienced to be appreciated,” said Annette Sharkey with the Social Planning Council.
Groups that participated include The Vernon Women’s Transition House, Vernon District Immigrants Service Society, the Vernon Community School, an LGBQT group from WL Seaton School, artists from Canadian Mental Health Association, youth from NOYFSS and moms from the Pregnancy Outreach Program at the First Nations Friendship Centre.
