Volunteer With Us
The Culture of Community
After being convinced to remain in seclusion for 25 years, upon her emergence from isolation, Sveva, now age 43, was able to integrate into society in large part because of her engagement with the local arts and culture community of the North Okanagan, who welcomed her with open arms.
From Vision to Reality
When Sveva left her home to the community of Greater Vernon in 1994, it was with the express with that the house and propriety serve as a cultural facility for artistic expression and exploration. In the 30 years since, this has been made possible due to funding and support for our not-for-profit organization.
Sveva’s vision for her home could only become a reality through the time, skill, commitment, and belief of hundreds of individual volunteers over the years. If you’d like to be part of this community of volunteers, please join us as we care for and preserve Sveva’s legacy for the future.

The Art of Administration
Do you prefer to work behind the scenes? Do you love lists and checking them off? Feel a surge of pride in colour coding a spread-sheet? Do things like getting documents filed and organized fill you a sense of peace? If any of these appeal to you, you may be an administrative artist.
