Family Sundays

Join us every Sunday from 1-4 pm at the Kelowna Art Gallery for Family Sundays.

Discover the joy of filling a canvas with vivid colour, experience molding spectacular sculptural works out of clay, and bring your child’s imagination to life. Family Sundays activities differ each week, providing the opportunity to experience a variety of art media and artists’ tools.

Through hands-on activities, helpful instruction, and age-appropriate information, Family Sundays opens up the world of art for children and adults by providing opportunities to engage in, discover and create in a supportive environment.

Family Sundays are open to the public every Sunday from 1-4 pm. Cost is $4 (includes HST) per person, which includes participation in the activity and gallery admission. Contact the Gallery at 250-762-2226 for more information.
