Family Sundays – Create your own Wildlife Painting!
Children and families will celebrate culture in the Okanagan by selecting their favourite Canadian animals and using acrylic paint to create our own unique paintings. This hands-on-activity is inspired by Valerie Rogers’ exhibition Lift Off and Soar at our satellite space at the Kelowna International Airport. It will be led by the Gallery’s helpful instructors, who will also provide age-appropriate information about the current exhibitions on view.
