The Kelowna Art Gallery invites you to make your Canada Day a creative one.

On Monday, July 1, from 10 am to 4 pm, the gallery will be free and open to the public for a full day of hands-on art activities and visual art exploration—both inside and outside the building.

Choose from painting at an easel en plein air, making your own canvas flag to wave proudly, contributing to a community mural, or simply exploring the four exhibitions on view. There is lots to see and do.

“Canada Day is a huge celebration in this community,” says Executive Director Nataley Nagy. “Our aim is to offer a creative way for people of all ages to celebrate what it means to live in this diverse place we call Canada.”

Canada Day at the Kelowna Art Gallery is free and open to the public, but those interested in painting their own canvas flag are encouraged to come by earlier in the day, as supplies are limited.

The Gallery would like to thank Benjamin Moore Kelowna for generously donating the paint for this event, and Opus Art Supplies for donating the canvas that will be used for the flags.
