Artist trading cards are small, baseball-card size, works of art made with the intention of trading with other individuals.  Artist trading cards started in Zurich, Switzerland, in 1997, and became popular via the Internet.  Now, they are exchanged all over the world. Come and make your own unique cards that can be traded with people in our community.

What is Family Sundays all about?

Join us at the Kelowna Art Gallery as we welcome the community into our Scotiabank Studio and offer the opportunity to participate in creative hands-on art making activities. Bring the whole family to the gallery to view the exciting exhibits and visit the studio where innovative art experiences await.

You can fill a painting with vivid colours and juicy thick paint as you create on an easel. Or mould spectacular sculptural works out of clay. There is always the opportunity to try out a variety of art media, sampling the tools of the artist.

Admission:

Regular Family Sundays are open to the public every Sunday afternoon, 1:00 to 4:00pm.

Admission is $3 per person, which includes participation in the activity and admission to the gallery.
