Virtual Gallery: Summer Artisan Market runs at The Art Gallery Osoyoos until September

Beverley Smith is showing her paintings and photography, bringing windows to the back room alcove.

The annual Summer Artisan Market opened Thursday, June 24 at The Art Gallery Osoyoos and runs until Labour Day, Monday, Sept. 6.

The market features the work of Osoyoos artists and artisans and includes affordable pieces from painters, potters, photographers, quilters and others. It is geared both to local shoppers and browsers and tourists.

Throughout the summer, some artists may change their exhibit space, so it’s worth checking back again throughout the summer to see what is new.

The gallery is now on summer hours and is open from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. from Sunday to Friday and from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturdays. Covid precautions are in effect. The gallery is located at 8713 Main St. in Osoyoos, B.C., just west of Town Hall.
