The Penticton Art Gallery proudly presents, The Artful Soirée, an evening where art, community, and purpose intertwine. This year’s live gala event takes place at the Penticton Art Gallery on the evening of Thursday June 19, 2025.
The Artful Soirée invites you to come and enjoy an evening highlighted by a specially curated collection of one-of-a-kind works of art, engage in spirited conversation, and bid on 200 unique items in both a silent and live auction featuring an exceptional collection of original works of contemporary and historic art representing local, regional, national and international artists.
The gala event will feature hors d'oeuvres and dinner by Chef Tyson Still of Still Foods Bistro a host bar featuring fine wines, craft beers and non alcoholic beverages that will nourish both body and spirit, as all come together to celebrate the transformative power of art.
