Painted murals already adorn the inside of Vernon's downtown parkade, but there is a plan for new art on the outside of the building on 31st Avenue.

City council has endorsed plans for a public art project to display one or more large pieces of art on the facade of the building, probably on the 32nd Street side, according to Mayor Akbal Mund. 

The Vernon Public Art Gallery Society is seeking federal funds being made available to mark the 150th anniversary of Canada's confederation.

If successful, the project would likely be undertaken in 2018.
