In addition to the Square Minim Mural Unveiling, Penticton Art Gallery and Cannery Brewing are hosting a Kids Art Forgery event during the Ignite the Arts Art Walk on March 25th from 11:00am to 2:00pm.

Children are invited to create their own forgery pieces of the murals, using their imagination and creativity to create unique interpretations. Parents are welcome to join in on the fun as we celebrate both the artistic talent of our juried mini Mural artists as well as the community's budding Picassos.

This event is by donation, with all proceeds going towards OSNS Child Development. We are excited to share that during the month of March, all donations made to OSNS will be matched by Wildstone Construction.

Prizes will be awarded to the up-and-coming artists in the form of VIP Ignite the Arts tickets!

This event promises to be a thrilling celebration of art, creativity, and community. Don't miss out on this exciting opportunity to support our local artists and ignite the arts in Penticton!

After a long and challenging selection process, the committee is pleased to announce the chosen artists for the 3rd annual Square Mini Mural Auction: Arianne Tubman, Brittney Bidlake, Endrené Shepherd, Lukas Lundberg, Naomi Qoyllur Díaz Robledo, Neil Erickson, Robyn Sylvester, Taylor Baptiste, Toni Albert, and Zac Abney. Each artist will receive a $500 honorarium, and 50% of the proceeds from the auction of their works will go directly to the artists. The remaining 50% will be reinvested back into the program for next year's event.

The works will be framed and installed by Cannery Brewing in advance of the opening reception on Friday, March 24th, which kicks off the 2nd Annual Ignite the Arts Festival immediately following the Community Week Parade for No Reason! The Square Mini Mural Unveiling will take place at Cannery Brewing on March 24th at 6:00pm. This event will showcase the 10 selected artists and their incredible works of art. Join us as we celebrate the creativity and passion of our local artists, and be among the first to witness their unique visions brought to life.
