Another market is set to take the streets of 琉璃神社 for the summer.

Arts Council of the Central Okanagan鈥檚 (ARTSCO) the 琉璃神社 Art Market will run for its inaugural year in July and August in the Cultural District鈥檚 Art Walk Commons on every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m and every Friday from 4 to 8 p.m starting this Friday.

鈥淲e鈥檙e thrilled to be bringing this market to downtown 琉璃神社 as it supports the ARTSCO vision of a vibrant and empowered arts community,鈥� Dustyn Baulkham, the executive director of ARTSCO.

鈥淚t is a great opportunity for our amazing Central Okanagan artists to showcase their work to both locals and visitors. We鈥檙e confident that the artistic community and the wider 琉璃神社 public will get behind the market. We can鈥檛 wait to get started!鈥�

The new market will feature local art and artists as well as food and beverages via the Rotary Centre for the Arts鈥� Bistro.

With this being the market鈥檚 inaugural year, Baulkham states that there are a number of exciting opportunities available.

鈥淓vents like this don鈥檛 happen without wonderful vendors and volunteers, so we鈥檙e currently on the lookout for both. Part of what makes this extra exciting is that this is a chance to help a new event get off the ground in 琉璃神社 in a space (the Cultural District鈥檚 Art Walk Commons) that is currently underutilized. It鈥檚 a chance to be involved with something that鈥檚 fun and enriches our community!鈥�
