Okanagan Print Triennial 2012

On view from March 31 to June 17, 2012, at the Kelowna Art Gallery

 

January 30, 2012 - Kelowna, BC: The Kelowna Art Gallery is pleased to
announce the Okanagan Print Triennial 2012, a juried show that brings
together a variety of original, contemporary work in printmaking.
Dedicated to showcasing the creative forays made in printmaking in
Canada and beyond, a call for submissions went out to artists across
North, Central, and South America. The works of twenty remarkable
printmakers will be featured, including those by Derek Michael Besant,
Mark Bovey, Liz Ingram, and Mitch Mitchell. The Okanagan Print Triennial
2012 opens to the public on March 31 and will be on view to June 17,
2012.

 

Launched in 2009 at the Vernon Public Art Gallery, the Okanagan Print
Triennial is a collaborative effort of the Kelowna Art Gallery, the
University of British Columbia Okanagan, and the Vernon Public Art
Gallery. The Kelowna Art Gallery looks forward to unveiling the works of
printmakers of all stripes, and then to engaging with our local publics
in discussion and exchange about this fascinating aspect of contemporary
art practice. The exhibition will be accompanied by a full-colour
catalogue that will reproduce each piece in the exhibition, and will be
available for purchase from the Kelowna Art Gallery. 

 

An opening reception to celebrate the exhibition will be held on Friday,
March 30, 2012, from 7 to 9 pm, at the Kelowna Art Gallery. This is a
free event, open to members and guests, by invitation. The Kelowna Art
Gallery will also host a roundtable on Saturday, March 31, 2012, from 1
to 3 pm at the Gallery, which is free to attend and open to the public. 


The Kelowna Art Gallery is located at 1315 Water Street in downtown
Kelowna. For more information about current exhibitions, public
