Wilden is hosting the 2017 Wilden Creativity Day to celebrate wild ideas in art, music, food, and home design. Festivities will be held in their brand new Presentation Centre at 1454 Rocky Point Drive. This is a complimentary event to support young artists and the cultural life in Kelowna.
The Blenk family have been hosting the Wilden Creativity Day since 2015, when Wilden first announced the Wilden Creativity Award, given to a graduating student—Bachelor of Fine Arts or Master of Fine Arts—in UBC Okanagan’s Faculty of Creative and Critical Studies (FCCS) Visual Arts program, and includes $2,500 and an exhibition at the Wilden Presentation Centre.
“The Wilden Creativity Award is our top prize for a graduating student. Preference is given to a body of work that reflects a powerful message as well as a high level of originality, passion and accomplishment.” Says Myron Campbell, visual arts instructor in FCCS.
This year’ award recipient was Rho Shaw, and nominees Pamela Turner and Jackie Deck, each artist will be exhibiting their work at the 2017 Creative Day. Click here to find out more about the artists and their work.
