Join us at the Shatford Centre on Wednesday, February 19 from 6:30 pm to 8:30 pm as the Okanagan School of the Arts (OSA) opens its first exhibit of 2020.
Our theme for this exhibit is “Abstracted Ideas”. We are showcasing works that do not attempt to accurately depict visual reality, but instead use shapes, colours, and forms to achieve effect.
“We’ve had an outstanding response to this call,” says Kim Palmer, Executive Director of the OSA. “The work we’ve received is incredibly colourful and vibrant – I’m confident that visitors will be delighted by this beautiful and memorable exhibit.”
Light refreshments will be served at the opening, and everyone is welcome.

Exhibition of Okanagan artist
Peggie Collins's Cross Canada Tour Gallery One-Twenty-Seven 127 Elm Avenue, Penticton You're invited to the Opening, Saturday, November 30, 1 to 7 pm In 2018, on an art sabbatical, Okanagan artist Peggie Collins crossed Canada and back (15,000 km) from the Pacific shores of Vancouver to the northern tip of Newfoundland and the cold Atlantic. She started out sharing her journey by painting in large canvases but soon realized the impracticality of such and turned to working on 4” x 4” canvas sheets which she calls her Mini Memories. Collins claims, “My Canadian Tour inspired me and gave me a special appreciation for our beautiful and varied country. I am blessed to have had this opportunity and each Mini Memories painting evokes a smile as my brush strokes lock each special story onto canvas.” On Saturday, November 30 from 1 to 7 pm, member Peggie Collins invites you to join her at the opening of her new Gallery One- Twenty-Seven at 127 Elm Avenue in Penticton. All 100 of her Mini Memories series of original paintings and more will be on display and for sale. |

CURRENT EXHIBITIONS |

Wanda Lock ------------------ The Year We Disappeared January 9 – March 4 Wanda Lock, confidently transitions between painting and drawing, often combining the two mediums. her works are inspired by everyday objects, typically things found 'around the house'. Interiors, small animals and insects are familiar subjects in her pieces. Although she focuses on simple and mundane objects, her paintings and drawings appear far from lifelike; more symbolic renderings, than realistic. her exhibition, The Year We Disappeared, continues her focus on small, everyday occurrences and 'things', through works varying in size and method. This exhibition looks into Wanda's own experiences. Its "about books read, movies seen and stories told. it's about conversations had over morning coffee, late-night studio visits, and brief encounters with those who slip in and out of our lives. The Year We Disappeared is about the summer I turned 50." |

Heather Passmore ----------------- Roman Charity January 9 - March 4 Heather Passmore, often chooses discarded and historically valued materials for her artwork. From outdated milk, to a used mattress, to hand written sheet music, her unconventional materials bring another dimension to her pieces. She continues this technique in her exhibition Roman Charity, that explores the societal discomfort surrounding breastfeeding. For the pieces in this collection, she uses her own paint which she makes from cow’s milk and expired breast milk, The series includes three large self (effaced) portraits on fabric depicting the last time Passmore nursed her daughter, and images of mothers covering their faces instead of their breasts while breastfeeding. The images are based on photographs that circulated on social media in protest to admonishment that mothers should cover up while nursing in public. |

Mat Glenn --------------- Fear Frequency January 9 - March 4 Mat Glenn is a recent graduate from the University of British Columbia Okanagan’s fine arts program and specializes in sculpture, installation, printmaking and digital media. In his current exhibition, Fear Frequency he uses the technique of sculpture with a digital media component to explore the idea of human and non-human “hybridity”. He shows that the human body not only coexists with the world and synthetic materials, but the two are connected. He removes the boundary between human and non-human with his sculptures of disfigured bodies with non-human like qualities; “These bodies illustrate unstable but inherent hybridity of human experience.” |
