YES!

We need an Art Policy for the City of Vernon and an Independent Cultural Asset Committee so there are proper policies and processes in place and to make sure that all stakeholders are not only protected but represented. Public art is important to this community but it should not be left solely in the hands of politicians, the DVA or Tourism. ALL stakeholders should have a voice and the process should be open and transparent. Taxpayer funds are being used in many of these projects so taxpayers should have access to the process and they should be covered by proper policies to protect all involved. This isn’t about just one mural or one artist this is about ALL public art. Sveva represents all of us.
