Penticton Art Gallery

At the Penticton Art Gallery, art and community come together to create a unique and inclusive cultural hub in the heart of downtown Penticton, British Columbia. As we acknowledge the land on which we gather as the unceded, traditional territory of the syilx (Okanagan) People, we are committed to engaging in ongoing dialogue about issues and ideas expressed through contemporary and historic art practices, promoting inclusiveness, social engagement, critical thinking, and creativity.

Our mission is to provide opportunities for interaction with artists and the artistic process, and our vision is a world where the visual arts foster greater inclusiveness, social engagement, critical thinking, and creativity. As we exhibit, interpret, preserve, and promote our collective artistic and cultural heritage expressed through the visual arts, our gallery is accessible to everyone as a vibrant public space in service of our community. We embrace cultural and gender diversity, and the work of indigenous artists in exhibitions, education, and outreach programming.

In addition to youth and adult programming, we offer over 18 exhibitions per year. These include our flagship annual events such as the Art Auction, Ignite the Arts Festival, the Square Mini Mural Project, Young Collectors Club, and our culinary art events, Loving Mugs & Soup Bowls. Our annual Under $500 Christmas sale and Art exhibition has been a staple for the past 18 years, offering the public, collectors, and art lovers the opportunity to discover and acquire affordable original works of art for themselves or as a gift for someone special.

The PAG Gift Shop is a charming boutique located inside the Penticton Art Gallery. With a carefully curated selection of art books, jewelry, ceramics, glassware, and other one-of-a-kind treasures created by local and regional artists, it’s the perfect place to find unique and handmade items that are sure to delight art lovers and collectors alike.Come visit us and discover the beauty and creativity of the Penticton art scene!
