Another market is set to take the streets of Kelowna for the summer.

Arts Council of the Central Okanaganѻýs (ARTSCO) the Kelowna Art Market will run for its inaugural year in July and August in the Cultural Districtѻýs Art Walk Commons on every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m and every Friday from 4 to 8 p.m starting this Friday.

ѻýWeѻýre thrilled to be bringing this market to downtown Kelowna as it supports the ARTSCO vision of a vibrant and empowered arts community,ѻý Dustyn Baulkham, the executive director of ARTSCO.

ѻýIt is a great opportunity for our amazing Central Okanagan artists to showcase their work to both locals and visitors. Weѻýre confident that the artistic community and the wider Kelowna public will get behind the market. We canѻýt wait to get started!ѻý

The new market will feature local art and artists as well as food and beverages via the Rotary Centre for the Artsѻý Bistro.

With this being the marketѻýs inaugural year, Baulkham states that there are a number of exciting opportunities available.

ѻýEvents like this donѻýt happen without wonderful vendors and volunteers, so weѻýre currently on the lookout for both. Part of what makes this extra exciting is that this is a chance to help a new event get off the ground in Kelowna in a space (the Cultural Districtѻýs Art Walk Commons) that is currently underutilized. Itѻýs a chance to be involved with something thatѻýs fun and enriches our community!ѻý
