"Migration Parade: Holon" is a work that holds a kind of luminous, safe, altered space of inquiry for feeling, thinking, and being in collectives. It explores the individual within the collective and the collective within the individual. It carves out an abstract and sensorial space to explore these phenomena, free of semantic entanglements or polarized political analyses, yet including them as a line of inquiry in the research.

Ari Neufeld will be joining our featured exhibits during the time of the Ignite the Arts Festival in the Toni Onley Gallery. Ari is a second generation British Columbian, raised by missionary parents.

We are thrilled to be able to host Mia Harris in the Penticton Art Gallery over the month of February as our Artist in Residency as she continues to develop the Vocal Improvisation and Motion-activated Electroacoustic Sound Interaction (VIMES Interaction) Project.

In the spring of 2018 the much loved Dr. Michael Sime was recognized by the Penticton arts community at the annual Penticton and District Community Arts Council’s Arts Awards Gala with their highest honour, the lifetime achievement award for his contributions to the development and support of the arts community here in the South Okanagan.
