The annual call to Thompson Okanagan artists to win an opportunity to have their work displayed for sale at Kelowna International Airport in 2018 is set to go Oct. 1 and run to Nov. 15.
Artists living in the Thompson Okanagan area, from Kamloops to Osoyoos, are welcome to submit their work for the Art Kiosk in the YLW departures lounge. The kiosk, branded 香蕉视频直播淪pirit of the Okanagan,香蕉视频直播� is managed by Suk香蕉视频直播櫴穞蓹msqilx史 West Kelowna Arts Council (SWAC).
Artists are juried by their peers annually on artwork that focuses on Okanagan themes. The cost to submit is $30, which includes membership in SWAC for 2018.
The philosophy of the SWAC is to be inclusive of both indigenous and non-indigenous artists.
Skyway Gourmet Ventures Inc. processes the sale of artwork, with the artist paying a commission of 25 per cent to Skyway and five per cent to SWAC. The goal is to offer travellers the chance to buy mementos that capture their experiences visiting the Valley. All artwork must be original and Okanagan themed.
