LIVE MURAL AUCTION AT CANNERY BREWING ON WEDNESDAY OCTOBER 26TH, STARTS 6 PM
The Penticton Art Gallery and Cannery Brewing are pleased to host the SQUARE Mini-Mural Live Auction once again. This year's auction features ten amazing 4 ft x 4 ft paintings created by some of the Okanagan's most colourful artists: Amy Schroeter, Angela Hansen, Ariane` Kamps, Elizabeth Houghton, Greta Kamp, Jessie Dunlop, Johann Wessels, Kristine Lee, Leta Heiberg, and Moozhan Ahmadzadegan. Each mural comes on an easel frame, ready to hang. They can be installed either indoors or outside. Each mural has been on display in the Cannery Brewing Taproom and Backyard since the creation of the murals during the Inaugural Ignite the Arts Festival held in March of 2022.
If you have ventured to colourful front street lately and visited Honey Toast, you may have seen one of last year’s murals on display. “I noticed this one by Jolene Mackie and I liked it so much, I kept coming back to Cannery Brewing just to look at it. After I purchased the painting at the Auction I had the piece in my bedroom, but when I opened Honey Toast, I moved it into the public. Now, I am in contact with Jolene to design a full sleeve tattoo for me!” Says Honey Toast owner and avid art collector, Fergy Ferguson.
Like last year, proceeds raised from the event will be split between the artist and the Penticton Art Gallery, which will put the funds towards next year's SQUARE Mural Project. Bidding is now open online at 32auctions.com/square2022. Starting at $500, online bids can be placed up until Tuesday, October 25th and will be carried over to the live event the following night. If you would like to view and participate in the live auction on October 26th via Zoom, please contact the Penticton Art Gallery at 250.493.2928 to be put on the list.
