Call to Central
Okanagan Artists and Art Organizations
The Arts Council of the Central Okanagan is looking at possibly leasing a
2900 sq. ft. building in downtown Kelowna, which could house the Arts
Council and have room for some artist studios, shared office space and
perhaps a cooperative gallery.
For the Arts Council to consider becoming involved in a 10 year long-term
lease such as this, the Arts Council would need to have artist and or arts
organizations committed to subleasing parts of the building.
If you are looking for an artist studio, a shared administration office, or
gallery space, please let us know ASAP what your requirements are and what
you are able to afford as monthly/yearly rent.
Kindest regards, Elke Lange
Executive Director
Arts Council of the Central Okanagan
