Caetani Centre

The Caetani Centre is a vibrant and innovative arts and culture centre located on a beautiful 1.3 acre park-like property in the heart of beautiful Vernon, BC. Adhering to the vision set out by our benefactor, the late artist, mentor and teacher Sveva Caetani, the Caetani Centre strives to cultivate a vibrant, inclusive and diverse cultural centre by providing opportunities and programming that celebrate contemporary artistic expressions across all arts mediums and genres. We present and preserve the inspirational influence of Sveva Caetani and her family, descendents of Italian royalty, through curating and exhibiting her artwork, including her 47-piece Recapitulation Series, and capturing her story of strength and resilience through our heritage displays and historical and educational tours. We also offer arts and culture programs, exhibits, workshops, concerts and events for members of the public throughout the year and host artists and creatives from across Canada and around the world in our Artist Residency Program. Our events include an annual summer music festival, an art and golf fundraiser, a popular Halloween ghost tour/party, and evolving Culture Days, Vernon Winter Carnival and other events. Our facilities include a main-floor accessible museum in our 1895-built heritage house, a 3 bedroom AIR suite, 2 long-term residential suites, 5 on-site studios, a 750 sq. ft. indoor art gallery/event space, an outdoor courtyard, staging area, and beautiful gardens. A variety of different unique venue options are available to rent throughout the year.
