Viewing through the lens of proximity can develop a slant, a ‘local vision’ and since art is about perceiving with an immediate awareness; those who live and work in the Okanagan, could be attributed with ‘Okanagan Eyes’.

A tour of the exhibition, Okanagan Eyes Okanagan Wise Okanagan-ise, will bring about a state more ‘Okanagan wise’.

Since this exposure takes place here, in the Okanagan, this taste of cultural fare will enable an understanding and, once acclimatised, provoke identification – ‘Okanagan-ised’ …

Jazzing it up during the reception, Jen Dyck on keyboard, Bill Lockie on bass and Steve Mennie on drums.
