We’re thrilled to announce the opening of Shadowplay by the extraordinary Jane Everett, with animation by Kailee Fawcett, now lighting up the Kelowna Community Theatre Urban Screens as part of Light Up Kelowna.

The exhibition officially opens November 13 at 6 PM, inviting the community to gather outside the KCT and experience this captivating intersection of art, motion, and light.

The Arts Council of the Central Okanagan (ARTSCO) is excited to introduce The Art Cart — a new community art exchange created and curated by the ARTSCO Youth Arts Council. Located just outside the ARTSCO Community Gallery, The Art Cart is an open, accessible space that invites everyone to share, exchange, and celebrate art in the heart of Kelowna’s Cultural District.

ARTSCO is proud to present Celebrating the Return — a sound and Gobo light installation that honours the annual return of the Salmon to the Okanagan. This immersive exhibition reflects the deep cultural, ecological, and spiritual significance of salmon restoration and the ongoing efforts to revive Okanagan habitats, riparian systems, and biodiversity.

This season, ARTSCO is proud to feature When the Salmon Return — a 3D animation by UBC Okanagan Media Studies student Cadence Myroniuk, showcased on the Urban Screens at the Kelowna Community Theatre.
