ARTIST INFORMATION

Professional and emerging artists are invited to submit their work for the first KELOWNA ART BOOK.

 

The KELOWNA ART BOOK seeks to elevate awareness of the arts in the Kelowna region by featuring local practicing artists and their work. This inaugural book is designed to celebrate the arts in Kelowna and its creatives. With a rich list of original artworks by professional and emerging artists, KELOWNA ART BOOK marks a milestone for Kelowna. The book will connect artists and collectors and showcase the local talent of the region.
