okanAWEgan   December 7, 2019 – February 22, 2020 Opening Reception  2-5 PM, Saturday, December 7, 2019 okanAWEgan - A group exhibition with works by:

Having just returned from the Venice Biennale, the Istanbul Biennale, Berlin, London and FIAC in Paris, it reinforced our determination to showcase work done right here in the Okanagan because it stands up. To be contemporary in an arena that is shouting with digital distractions while still using traditional means – painting, drawing, sculpture, is a challenge and commitment. This roster of artists has infused liveliness, energy and authenticity into their explorations. There is an array of styles and yet a depth throughout. That is why this exhibition is titled OkanAWEgan, because the works inspire awe as does the Okanagan, where those feelings of reverence and admiration are prompted by the physical landscape. The skies here are clearer - especially without the fires, a lucky year – and the prospects open to good living. It is an atmosphere conducive to creativity as this exhibition proves.  Overall, OKanAWEgan is an opportunity to view diverse works of a high calibre all under one roof, much like an art fair or biennale but all made right here the Okanagan. OkanAwegan opens with a public reception on Saturday, December 07, 2 – 5 PM, 2019, and continues until February 22, 2020. Headbones Gallery is located at 6700 Old Kamloops Road, Vernon.
