This month, the Okanagan’s first and only pop-up urban art gallery will be featuring the works of five unique artists for a public show.
Returning to the community for the show will be internationally acclaimed artist Bramble Lee Pryde.
Originally from Kelowna, Bramble’s multi-disciplinary artwork and jewelry has been featured in France, Italy, and the United States.
Currently, she is the creative director of nvrlnd. Arts Foundation, in Calgary. nvrlnd. is a non-profit, multi-disciplinary artist studio that transformed an abandoned hotel in the Ramsay neighbourhood of Calgary, creating an open-minded, affordable, and safe space for artists to gather, create, experiment, and share their work with the public.
The collective will be featuring five of their artists, including Bramble – who will be debuting a new body of her multiple medium work at Volume 4 of The Palace Of Manufactures at the Okanagan coLab.
Artists and featured work include:
“The Palace Of Manufactures features works inspired by animation, comic books, video games, cartoons, graffiti, hip hop, and 80s and 90s culture,” says the Palace of Manufactures. “Their mission is to expose the Okanagan to art that is not represented here.”
“The art featured by the Palace stands apart from spaces, transcending dry-wall, paint hues, and attached décor. It doesn’t match; it distinguishes, it conflicts,” they add. “It says something to, and about, the person who collects it. It represents a connection between the soul of the artist and the soul of the collector. It is valuable.”
The exhibit is free to the public and runs for one day only Sunday, November 10th, from 12 pm until 5 pm at 1405 St Paul, 2nd floor.
