For 18 years running, the Penticton Art Gallery has been a steadfast patron of artistic ingenuity, inviting creatives from all walks of life, regardless of age or medium, to partake in a unique annual showcase and sale: the Under $500 Exhibition. This cherished event has not only grown in stature year after year but has also managed to capture the attention of artisans, crafters, and visual artists spanning the entire spectrum of British Columbia and even beyond. What makes this exhibition truly exceptional is the astounding breadth and diversity of the submitted artworks, encompassing everything from the creations of well-established artists to the first-time public exhibitions of emerging talents.

The Under $500 Exhibition promises something for everyone, regardless of their budget. Whether you're on the hunt for a heartfelt gift, a token of appreciation for a loved one, or that elusive perfect piece to add to your personal collection, this exhibition has you covered. The artwork on display is not only an aesthetic treat but also an investment in the art community's future.

This year's exhibition provides a unique opportunity to uncover a multitude of promising and dynamic artists whose work promises to not only adorn the spaces of those who acquire it, but also enrich their lives with each passing day. Whether you're an art collector or a creator yourself, the art you choose becomes a part of your personal history, a piece of your soul woven into your surroundings.

Collecting artwork from emerging artists also carries the power to transform lives. Your patronage enables these artists to continue painting, contributing to their growth and development. It's a symbiotic relationship, where both the artist and the collector benefit, and art takes center stage as the connector.

Excitement is building as the submission period unfolds, and artists from all over prepare to share their creative expressions with the world. This year's Under $500 Exhibition promises to be a remarkable journey through the diverse tapestry of artistic talent. Join us at the Penticton Art Gallery from November 18, 2023, to January 20, 2024, and explore the beauty of art on a budget. ◆
