Arts Picnic
August 10, 2010

FREE Music, FREE Interactive Art Experiences

The Daily Courier Arts Common – between the Kelowna Art Gallery and the Rotary Centre for the Arts – will come alive on the evening of Tuesday, August 10, with artists and music.

The KelownaArtGallery, along with the Okanagan Symphony and the Rotary Centre for the Arts, presents Arts Picnic, a free event with family entertainment for everyone. Please join us and bring your friends, family and visitors to enjoy a performance by the National Youth Orchestra, while sitting on your picnic blanket.

The Kelowna Art Gallery and Rotary Centre for the Arts will be working with a number of artists in the community to bring together an exciting array of visual arts activities and a community drumming circle to animate the Arts Common. 

The three partners gratefully acknowledge the City of Kelowna through its Cultural Services Branch, which has supported the event with a $10,000 project grant.

The Kelowna Art Gallery’s annual Seeing Red and White fundraiser will be held on Saturday October 2, 2010. This evening of fine art, fine wine, fine dining, will be a night to remember with music performed by local musicians The Darylectones, food prepared by award-winning Joy Road Catering, a champagne reception sponsored by Leona Baxter, President of the Board of Directors of the Kelowna Art Gallery, delicious red & white local wines, and beer from Tree Brewing. There will also be a silent auction that will include artworks by well-known local artists, as well as home décor accessories, hotel packages, and wine packages. Guests will view on site painting by four local artists, with the works they create to be auctioned live at the end of the evening.
