This is a beautiful gallery that honours the spirit and intent of well-known and respected Indigenous artists to showcase their histories and cultures. I love that the staff are knowledgeable about the artists and the artists' "craft". Lovely, tasteful venue, and easy to view items, Prices are reasonable for the high quality of the products. Relaxed atmosphere. A great place to buy gifts.

Okanagan Art Gallery

This gallery is a hidden gem with the work of 25 artists displayed over several rooms. Browsers welcome!

Reviewed By TravellinCalgarian - Vernon, Canada

I just happened upon this gallery on the main street in Osoyoos. The small entry leads to a large gallery, with tons of local talent. The artists who form part of this cooperative are so talented. There are some very good ones. I ended up buying a painting and I just might go back to get another. I definitely recommend this place!

After visiting the Bill Reid Gallery I was told that to understand and appreciate First Nation’s history and culture I should go to the MOA. The museum is huge (and architecturally impressive) and features roughly a dozen galleries. Here, you will find totem poles, historical and contemporary Indigenous art, a 600-piece ceramics collection from the 16th-19th centuries, thousands of objects from around the world, an enormous and stunning Bill Reid sculpture housed in a former gun turret, two Haida houses, Musqueam posts and so much more. The staff is approachable and very knowledgeable, answering several questions I had. I happened to visit while a Diwali festival was taking place featuring dancing, henna painting, tea and sweets and more. There is a small cafe on the premises offering coffee/tea, soups, sandwiches, baked goods, etc. Price of admission is reasonable (adult is $17) considering the size and substance of the museum’s collection. I spent over three hours here.

A great place to buy some authentic Native art work and jewellery. I bought a beautiful piece for my wife and a beautiful earrings/necklace set. The piece of art came with information about the artist. The service was terrific as well. I will return to purchase something else in the future. It is nice to know that you are not getting ripped off by buying some cheap Chinese knock off( no offence).
