The Kelowna Art Gallery will host the 26th annual Art in Action exhibition, entitled A Change of Perspective.

The exhibition features more than 100 works of art created by middle and high school students from School District No. 23.

Art in Action is a celebration of the creativity and talent of local youth. Each year middle and high school students from School District No. 23 are asked to explore their imaginations to create their unique visions of life through painting, sculpting, printmaking, drawing, and photography.

The annual Art in Action exhibition is a highlight of the Kelowna Art Gallery’s community exhibitions. “Art in Action showcases the exemplary art activities taking place in local classrooms,” said Kelowna Art Gallery head of public programming, Renée Burgess.

“It is fascinating to see the thoughts, attitudes, and ideas of youth being expressed through visual art.”

An opening reception to launch the exhibition will be held on Monday, March 5, from 7 to 9 p.m., at the Kelowna Art Gallery. The reception is free and open to the public.

The Kelowna Art Gallery is located at 1315 Water St. in the heart of the Cultural District in downtown Kelowna.
