Alternator Gallery, "Postcard Project," 2021
The Alternator is once again adorning our walls salon style in both support and celebration of our diverse creative community. To commemorate our 32nd in the Kelowna arts community we invited our members to take part in our annual members’ exhibition, the Postcard Project & Studio Sale!
The Postcard Project & Studio Sale is an opportunity for local artists to exhibit their work in the Alternator’s professional gallery space, creating a grand mosaic that showcases both the people involved with the gallery and the work they produce. This annual members’ exhibition doubles as an exhibition and sale where visitors can take home (or gift!) a part of the Okanagan’s rich arts community. Artists will take home 75% of sales while the remaining 25% will go towards supporting the Alternator’s programming.
This year, we have included a new twist to the exhibition by inviting artists to create one-of-a-kind postcards. 32 Alternator member artists (one for each year of our existence!) were invited to create up to 10 unique postcards in any visual medium to be sold at $10 each. With the Postcard Project, we hope to foster connection despite these times of limited communication and isolation. Guests are encouraged to send their purchased postcard out to friends or family, keep for themselves, or to have the Alternator send on your behalf (within Canada); just provide the address and we will take care of the rest!
The exhibition will run from July 16 to August 28 and will utilize all 3 of our exhibition spaces; the Main Gallery, Window Gallery, and Members’ Gallery. People are encouraged to visit early, however: as works in the exhibition are sold, they will be removed from the wall and taken home with their new owners!
