This year the Penticton Art Gallery's resolution is to profile the work of as many artists as we are able and to compile an extensive list of contemporary artists who have a connection with or are currently living and practicing in British Columbia, in any medium. The idea behind this is to act as a launching pad for art historians, collectors, and other artists to learn more about your work and to reach out and connect with you.
