Penticton Art Gallery will be closed Friday September 30th for Truth and Reconciliation (Orange Shirt) Day.

We would like to encourage anyone reading this to attend a Walk for the Children, hosted by the Okanagan Nation Alliance, beginning at 10 a.m. The walk starts at the Peach in Penticton and sees participants make their way along the channel to the Syilx Indian Residential School Monument. Following the five-kilometre walk, the Penticton Indian Band will be hosting a special gathering for Okanagan Nation members.

A Celebration of Indigenous Culture and Resiliency will then run at Gyro Park from 1 p.m. to 6 p.m., featuring First Nations dance performances, drumming, singing, arts and crafts, vendors and an acknowledgment of the day.

We will welcome Patrons back to the gallery on Saturday the 1st at 11 am and again Tuesday October 4th at 10 am.
