NEXUS:
Histories and Communities
Out in the Orchards
The history of Kelowna is
inextricably linked to the orchard industry that formed the backbone of
the Okanagan Valley’s economy for many decades. The works of art in this
section all portray the orchards in various media. Some of the more
recently produced pieces approach the subject from a more conceptual frame
of reference.
