SUMMARY:Fireline Kinship
DESCRIPTION:Taylor Baptiste\n\n\n\nCaroline Galbraith GalleryMay 29 – July 29\, 2026 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: May 28 from 6 to 8 pm \n\n\n\nFireline Kinship is a multidisciplinary exhibition by Taylor Baptiste of the Osoyoos Indian Band and Syilx Okanagan Nation. Developed in response to intensifying climate realities in the Okanagan and the 2021 Nk’Mip wildfire\, the work examines the relationship between fire\, land stewardship\, and cultural continuity\, while reflecting on the processes of collective healing that follow environmental and community trauma. \n\n\n\nThe exhibition features a short film alongside sculptural regalia and sculptural works that engage fire as both a site of loss and a catalyst for renewal. Through material\, movement\, and image\, Baptiste reflects on kinship with the land\, the responsibilities carried within that relationship\, and the role of community in navigating loss\, resilience\, and renewal. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Wildfire Regalia I (film still)\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Flicker of Memory\n\n\n\n\n\n\n			\n				\n			\n		Extinguisher

SUMMARY:Through Our Eyes
DESCRIPTION:Teen Junction\n\n\n\nUp-front GalleryMay 29 – July 29\, 2026 \n\n\n\nOpening Reception: May 28 from 6 to 8 pm \n\n\n\nhrough Our Eyes is an exhibition of artwork by youth from BGC Okanagan’s Teen Junction Youth Program. For years\, Teen Junction and the Vernon Public Art Gallery have collaborated to create space for the voices and experiences of Vernon’s youth to be shared through art. \n\n\n\nTeen Junction is a dynamic\, low-barrier environment where youth are welcomed\, supported\, and encouraged to build confidence\, develop relationships\, and explore creative expression. The works presented in Through Our Eyes reflect the importance of these spaces\, demonstrating how art can become a powerful tool for self-expression\, communication\, and connection. \n\n\n\nThis year’s exhibition explores the contrast between how youth feel they are perceived by society and how they truly see themselves. Through drawing\, painting\, mixed media\, and personal storytelling\, the artists challenge assumptions\, share lived experiences\, and reclaim their own narratives with honesty and vulnerability. Together\, the works invite viewers to look beyond stereotypes and encounter these young people through a lens of resilience\, individuality\, and humanity. \n\n\n\nSpecial thanks to the staff and mentors at BGC Okanagan for the care\, encouragement\, and support they provide to youth in our community\, and to Sara Isaac\, whose dedication and leadership continue to guide and shape this exhibition each year.
