The Lake Country Art Gallery Celebrates Expansion into New Art House Space with Grand Opening Oct 4th
Join us for the Grand Opening of the Art House, and Art Trivia Night Friday, Oct 4th.
Guests are invited to mix, mingle and tour the new Art House space from 6 - 7pm. At 7:30pm, the party will move back into the main gallery space for a fun-filled pub-style Art Trivia Night, that will raise funds to buys chairs, tables and walls for the gallery and Art House. Entry is $10 per person.
Art knowledge is not necessary, as there will be help in the form of BFA students and teachers for hire by auction to add some more depth to your team. As well as life lines available at the end of each round, such as a $5 internet searches or a $2 art reference book look-up.
The Lake Country Art Gallery’s Art House is a space that courts innovation, exploration, collaboration and celebration of ALL of the arts. It is a place for artists and art lovers to come together to make art, talk about art and experience art in all of its forms.
If you are interested in making your wares available in the Gallery Gift Shop, donating your art books to the ArtShelf Bookshop & Reading Room, booking a spot in an upcoming art workshop or renting an artist studio space, please contact the Lake Country Art Gallery at 250-766-1299 or lakecountryartgallery@shaw.ca.

The Lake Country Art Gallery Celebrates Expansion into New Art House Space with Grand Opening Oct 4th
The Lake Country Art Gallery is proud to have taken possession of its new Art House space, the building located directly south of the Gallery on Bottom Lake Rd. This was made possible through the generous financial support of the District of Lake Country, and dedicated members of the community have already stepped forward to bring three new and exciting ventures into being.
First in the door was UBC Okanagan BFA graduate, artist and former practicum student with the Lake Country Art Gallery, Lucas Glenn. Glenn is spearheading the ArtShelf Bookshop & Reading Room, bringing his own magic with art and the written word to the ArtShelf bookshelves, which features used books on art, culture, design and architecture.
Hot on his heels was artist Karen Coon, who has been the dynamo behind getting the artist-run Gallery Gift Shop up and running in time for Artwalk this past Sept 7th & 8th. Already many local artists have their wares available in the shop, including Alice Pallet’s innovative and stunning fibreworks, scarves and handbags, Maud Besson’s ECCETERRAdesign jewelry line, and small, affordable original art by Lorraine Burns, Trina Ganson, Jolene Mackie, Margaret Kyle and Marlene McPherson, to name a few. More artist wares are being added all the time. Stop by a for visit Wednesday to Saturday, 10am - 4pm.
Several successful art classes have already been offered in the new dedicated art workshop, including oil painting classes with artist Gillian Rau, and “The Art of Words”, a three part workshop with award-winning writer/mentor Darcy Nybo. New classes are being booked all the time, and will be listed on the Lake Country Art Gallery website.
