SPRING ART WALK - MARCH, 2025
The annual Penticton ART WALK (part of the build-up to the Ignite the Arts Festival) happened on March 22nd. We were venue #21 of twenty six venues around Penticton and we provided food and drinks for all who attended---even having artist Nel Witteman paint on location. Keep an eye out for the next Art Walk, as they are a treat to participate in. Pick up a map at our gallery either before or during the shows, and make sure to gather a stamp from as many locations as possible during the event for prizes.
FALL ART WALK - NOVEMBER, 2024
From 11AM to 5PM on November 23rd we had another winter ART WALK. We were venue #19 of 26 this season. The promotional artwork this fall was an homage to the Sylix Okanagan peoples--- and we loved the multicoloured background!
ROBYN LAKE SOLO SHOW: "A Tranquil Place" - SUMMER, 2024
In the summer of 2024 we announced Robyn Lake's show "A Tranquil Place". Her sunny and joyful works accurately describe how we feel about the beautiful Okanagan Valley, so last year's collection had a peaceful and serene feeling for sunny days; aptly describing the show title. The show was hosted from June 27th to July 20th of 2024, and you can still view the artwork by clicking on the image or the title. SOLD titles are marked, but not all are gone if buyers are interested.
SMALL SQUARE SHOW - SPRING, 2024
Opened on the day of the Spring 2024 Art Walk (and the beginning of the annual Ignite the Arts festival), this show brought together 24 artists in an aesthetic hanging style, with even-sized canvas and boards. Almost all of the works in this show were created THAT YEAR, and on opening day some were even fresh from the studio! The show was hosted from March 23rd to April 6th of 2024, and you can still view the artwork by clicking on the image or the title. SOLD titles are marked, but not all are gone if buyers are interested.
FALL ART WALK - NOVEMBER, 2023
Held on November 18th of 2023, this winter excursion featured 19 galleries, studios and other artsy venues around downtown Penticton. We were venue #15 that year. It was a wonderful way to spend the near-Chrstmas season and we saw a bunch of people in the Gallery during the celebration. Keep an eye out for future art walks (as they usually happen twice a year) to participate in a future one!
ROBYN LAKE SOLO SHOW: "A Place to Live Forever" - SUMMER, 2023
Summer of 2023 presented Robyn Lakes' annual solo show, this year titled "A Place to Live Forever". This show featured more local-to-Penticton works then the general Okanagan-style Robyn is known for in an homage to her home and love of this land. The centerpiece of the show was the thumbnail to the left here, a 30x60 Acrylic on Canvas titled "Life on the Lake". A very popular piece as it sold pretty quick, but if you're a fan of Robyn old shows are always worth checking out!
ANITA McCOMAS SOLO SHOW: "Of Land and Wildlife" - JUNE 2023
Earlier that summer of 2023 we presented Anita McComas' "Of Land and Wildlife" solo show. Featuring a beautiful and colourful mix of landscapes, bears, horses and one adorable fox, this show ran from June 3rd to June 19th of 2023. On the opening day, Anita came down herself to celebrate and talk to clients.Click on the show to view Anita's pieces. The featured 36x60 titled "The Nightwatch" SOLD for $4000 that summer.
SPRING ART WALK - MARCH 2023
To start off the 2023 year was another Penticton Arts Council hosted ART WALK, that season titled "Lake to Lake"! From Skaha to Lake Okanagan, we had people visit the galleries across the city in an annual dose of visual arts. This season was special as there were 33 locations (the most hosted so far!) with over 150 participating artists. Keep an eye out for future art walks, as they're always a treat to participate in.
FALL ART WALK - NOVEMBER 2022
November of 2022 hosted another winter ART WALK. We were venue #21 that day--- and we had a bunch of Christmas shoppers stop by. Keep an eye out for future art walks, as they're always a treat to participate in. The image featured to the left is Min Ma's "Afternoon Moment" - 9x12 - $1525 Framed, and is STILL AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE as of JUNE 2025.
ROBYN LAKE SOLO SHOW: "The Sensuous Landscape" - SUMMER 2022
The word sensuous means to take delight in beauty, or the act of providing pleasure or gratification to the senses; so this show really fetured a feast for the eyes. This solo show was held from July 9th to August 6th of 2022, and featured 25 new works from artist Robyn Lake. Robyn was there for the opening, and had a lovely evening talking to guests! The image featured is a 30x48, "Kaleden from Blasted Church Vineyards" which SOLD for $3570. Check out this old show!
SERGE DEMÉTRIUS DUBÉ SOLO SHOW: "The Paint Runs Through His Veins" - JUNE 2022
The vancouver artist's acrylic drip technique is very well known and unique style in our gallery, so this show was a real treat to put on back in June 2022! The tagline draws from his flat-canvas, squeezebottle style, where its as though the acrylic paint just "runs through his veins" and onto a canvas. The 24x36 image featured SOLD for $1600 - titled "Stay Close to Your Heart".
IGNITE THE ARTS GROUP SHOW - SPRING 2022
Directly from artist studios came 1 to 4 pieces of new artwork from 25 of your favourite artists-- and just in time for the Ignite the Arts Spring Art Walk! We combined the bi-yearly art walk with our group show opening this year to maximize traffic in the gallery, and we would say it was rather successful-- we had a lot of people in. The art walk was held on April 2nd of 2022, and the show lasted from March 26th until April 9th. The image featured is Holly Dyrland's "Early Season Sail" - 16x40 - $1270, and is STILL AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE as of JUNE 2025.
GROUP SHOW: "Masterpieces" - WINTER 2021
Just in time for the Christmas Holidays came our Winter Exhibition "Masterpieces", in direct honour or each work of art we recieve from our artists. We wanted to really recognize the effort and time a singular painting can take our artists, and highlight the emotional value that goes into each one. The show lasted from November 18th to December 2nd of 2021.
ANITA McCOMAS SOLO SHOW: "A Little Girl with Eight Little Bears" - OCTOBER 2021
In October of 2021 we hosted Anita McComas' Solo Show that featured a lot of beautiful wildlife--- including owls, moose, wolves, but mostly bears and a little girl! The wild brush strokes of Anita's style demonstrate such beautiful expression in her creatures-- giving them personality, and a spark of life that we recognize as difficult to portray using only paint. Check out this show to see these creatures-- the mischevous, the proud and the innocent.
NEL WITTEMAN SOLO SHOW: "Our Beautiful Okanagan" - SEPTEMBER 2021
Petronella "Nel" Witteman paints in both oils and watercolours as her main medium-- and she adores both. Nel also had some words about the pandemic: "I am grateful for the home-bound, inward focus that the last two years have bestowed upon us all, so that I could paint away to my heart's content." - Nel Witteman ---I suppose artists just aren't as affected by the world shutting down when their studios are in their homes already!
ROBYN LAKE SOLO SHOW: "Zen and the Art of Painting Okanagan Landscapes" - JULY 2021
Held within the clutches of the COVID-19 pandemic, this 2021 show focused on the zen that comes about when you're forced to stay at home. Inspired by the peace of a tranquil moment, Robyn found joy during this isolated time as she painted the Okanagan vinyards. During the pandemic we had to strategically lay out pathways in the gallery for isolated viewing.... And if you look closely, you can still see tape remnants on the floor!
ERICA HAWKES SOLO SHOW: "Clouds in Colour" - SPRING 2021
Held from May 27th to June 10th of 2021, this show highlighted the clouds of the Okanagan. Their shapes, colours, movement and light are all coaxed out with Erica's soft style. "Clouds over my 46 years have always held my attention. When I was little I used to look for the shapes of things in the clouds... I could lay on my back for hours (if the mosquitos weren't bad) just to watch the clouds move." - Erica Hawkes
MICHAEL HERMESH SOLO SHOW: "Who Are We?" - AUGUST 2020
The summer of the beginning of the (second) roaring 20s marks Michael Hermesh's "Who Are We?" Solo Show. Inspired by the narritive of human behaviour, each painting in this show holds a profound and insteresting tale. If you're ever curious about Michael's works, come into the Gallery and we can regale you with all his stories! This collection includes acrylic paintings, graphite and mixed media sketches and bronze sculptures.
ROBYN LAKE SOLO SHOW: "Our Okanagan Lifestyle" - JULY 2020
One of the earlier shows by Robyn Lake presents "Our Okanagan Lifestyle". Presented in the middle of the pandemic, there was no official opening for this show, as people were encouraged to come slowly over the three week period instead. This theme was Robyn's way of presenting the slow going lifestyle of our valley from orchard picking, to camping, to bike rides along the beach. Check out these bright pieces!
