Calling all artists who live in the Thompson Okanagan area from Kamloops to Osoyoos.

Artists have until Nov. 15 to submit their work for the Art Kiosk in the YLW departures lounge.

The cost to submit is $30, which includes membership in SWAC for 2018 and artists are juried by their peers annually on artwork that focuses on Okanagan themes.

The Kiosk, also known as the ‘Spirit of the Okanagan’ is managed by the Suk'Ê·tÉ™msqilxÊ· West Kelowna Arts Council.

"I'm so proud to be part of the hard working, supportive artists of SWAC, and curators of the kiosk," said Michelle McCullough, Chair of SWAC.

"It’s exciting to witness the successful evolution of the Kiosk, and watch our Artists flourish. We are drawing on our love of the Okanagan and sharing it with the world.”

All pieces must be Thompson-Okanagan themed and no nude depictions will be accepted. Art can include 3D pieces but size suggestion is the same as carry-on regulations.

“We’re very happy to support this program as it creates a unique sense of place for our passengers,” said John Devitt, YLW’s Manager of Business Development and Community Relations. “We want the nearly 2,500 travelers every day to continue experiencing the Okanagan throughout the airport.”

The door is always open for artists to be included. For more information visit this link.
