Young
Architects Program
Young
Architects is
an outreach program for students in grades 4 – 7. The
Young Architects program involves two phases.
The first phase takes place in the classroom, here students are
introduced to the basic principals of architecture through a short slide
presentation. The
second phase of this program takes place at the Kelowna Art Gallery.
Students are introduced to our facility through a “behind the scenes”
tour of the gallery. Following
the tour we gather in the gallery classroom for another hands-on activity where
the students design the floor plans of their building. [click here]

The Apple
Bin Paint-In is an exciting community art project that takes place at the
gallery each year. This event is
designed to offer families and individuals an opportunity to paint a single side
of 25 large apple bins donated by B.C. Tree Fruits.
These bins are located throughout the gallery grounds.
Participants are given smocks, brushes and acrylic paint; everything
needed to create their own personal and lasting impressions of the Okanagan. Following the
paint in, the bins will be left on display to complement Communities In Bloom
in August. The bins are then be picked up by B. C. Tree Fruits and sent
out to orchards throughout the valley. In
other words, the art disappears into the landscape, to be enjoyed by both casual
viewers on the valley highways and back roads or fruit pickers in the many
Okanagan orchards. |
