Mandate

We envision our artist run-centre as a welcoming site for radical art-making and community-building. We have two primary goals:

First, we seek to provide support and resources to emerging and alternative artists in the Okanagan region;

Second, we seek to inspire our members as well as the broader community by showcasing local, national, and international work that is engaged in its social context and that disturbs and transcends dominant constructions of art, identity, and value.

We recognize that our work takes place in a context, and so we seek to engage with our history and our community, and particularly our presence in unceded Syilx territory. We are a collaborative and community-building centre that develops relationships to share knowledge and ideas.
