Are you familiar with the Lake Country ArtWalk in Kelowna?
This event is an annual celebration of creativity, where local artists and artisans come together to showcase their talents in the vibrant community of Lake Country.
Photography students from the College for Arts and Technology (CAT) had the amazing opportunity to display their work and engage with fellow art enthusiasts. The ArtWalk is not just an exhibition, but a celebration of creativity, innovation, and the diverse voices within the community.
Recently, seventeen Professional Photography students took part in Okanagan’s largest Art Show at ArtWalk in Lake Country. Each student displayed an average of three prints each, with an accompanying trade show table. As a bonus, the students got to interact with various art enthusiasts as well as showcase a video of their work at Creekside Theatre as well.
The event also featured painters, sketch artists, sculptors, mixed media artists, photographers, musicians, performance artists and some great food vendors!

Curious About the Lake Country ArtWalk?
The Lake Country ArtWalk, held annually in Lake Country, British Columbia, is the Okanagan Valley’s largest art festival, attracting over 7,000 attendees each September. This two-day event showcases the talents of more than 200 Okanagan artists, offering visitors a rich tapestry of visual and performing arts.
Beyond the art displays, ArtWalk offers hands-on children’s activities, live artist demonstrations, workshops, a live art auction, and a variety of food and beverage options. The festival’s mission is twofold: to support artists and to provide meaningful arts experiences for the public.
For those planning to attend, the festival is held at the Lake Country Community Complex, located just north of Kelowna and 30 km south of Vernon. The venue encompasses two school sites connected by a footbridge over a creek, creating a park-like setting that enhances the artistic ambiance.
