The Okanagan Artists of Canada Society will be hanging their art down the opening aisle of the Village Green Shopping Mall. The colourful and varied paintings from more than 35 local talents will greet shoppers.

Once again the mall has generously offered to showcase the non-profit society. OACS had an earlier exhibition this spring, “The Village Green Mall has a real sense of community spirit and has been incredibly supportive. The team there has enthusiastically and actively worked to help make this happen.” show organizer Sharon Bettesworth said. The motto of the group is “Artists Supporting Artists and the Village Green Mall’s kind and generous offer supports this collaborative effort.

The OACS is comprised of 75 talented local artists from Vernon and neighbouring locales, and sports a waiting list of many more. It is one of the oldest art societies in the province. The group was formed in 1945 as the Vernon Artist Association and registered under the Societies Act in 1968. After a couple more name changes, the group officially became the Okanagan Artists of Canada Society in 2017.
