We are thrilled to announce the virtual opening of our most recent online exhibition, "Michael Sime: My Journey." Michael was selected to be the Meadowlark Festival Featured Artist in 2020, and intended to have an exhibition of his artwork here at the Gallery in May.

We were able to include many more works of art, an artist biography, and interview. Thank you to Michael Sime for working closely with us to get this exhibition up and running. Have a look through this exhibition, and let us know what you think! http://pentictonartgallery.com/ms-online
