Opening Reception Friday, January 18 at 7:00pm

The Kelowna Art Gallery is pleased to present Transfer, an exhibition of prints by University of British Columbia senior printmaking students.

The University of British Columbia Okanagan’s Department of Creative Studies is one of two departments in the Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies and consists of 17 faculty members in creative writing, theatre, and visual arts. The Visual Arts program offers a balance of academic study and studio work, immersing students in critical and contemporary art education. Students acquire the foundation skills, techniques and theories to work in two and three dimensions in a variety of media such as drawing, painting, sculpture, printmaking, photography, computer applications, and video. Students work closely with professors and are given ample studio space and time. Art history courses, visiting artists' presentations, and participation in art exhibitions also form integral parts of the curriculum.

The Printmaking division, which offers courses in screenprinting, etching, relief processes, stone and waterless lithography, are designed to promote printmaking as a broad and versatile basis for research, and as an essential instrument for the students’ engagement with the visual arts.
