Peachland community arts council
The mandate of the Peachland Community Arts Council (PCAC) is to stimulate, develop, and encourage all the arts (literary, visual, and performing) in the beautiful surroundings of our Okanagan community. The PCAC recognizes the Arts as being a major contributor to the overall quality of life and economic well-being of Peachland and the Okanagan. It is our aim to bring together Artists and Artisans of all media and all ages and to coordinate either their individual or group interests in expressing their talents. In the Peachland Art Gallery, we feature local recreational artists and outstanding exhibits of those professional artists from around the Okanagan, BC and Canada.

NOW SHOWING |
The Capture Images Exhibition is one of the largest and longest running photography exhibition s in the Okanagan Valley featuring 36 fine art photographers and showcasing 70 of their works.
Photographing photographs in a photography exhibition is never ideal - you have light reflections, distortions and so on. Attempts have been made through post-editing to improve on the images - the results are less than impressive! However, the objective here is simply to show you the range of subject material. Hopefully you will find an opportunity (if you have not already done so) to visit the gallery and enjoy the images directly yourself. A larger view of the slideshow is available HERE. NB: Please note that because of limited material caused by the effects of COVID-19 the PCAC Newsletter has been suspended until further notice. Bulletins will replace the newsletter when necessary. _________________________ |
