Okanagan Print Triennial 2012


March 31 to June 17, 2012

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 in this exhibition, including those by Derek Michael Besant, Mark Bovey, Liz Ingram, and Mitch Mitchell.

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.
