The content within these pages we hope will help to enlighten your insights into the history of the collection and its vast scope of diverse artworks. This catalogue contains remarkable essays by Dr. Koosel and Gary Pearson – Professor Emeritus at the University of British Columbia Okanagan – providing insight into the historical and contemporary aspects of the collection.
I would like to acknowledge the financial support of the Province of British Columbia, the Regional District of the North Okanagan, and the BC Arts Council, whose funding enables us to produce exhibitions such as this for the North Okanagan region and interested parties across Canada. Together with our Curator Lubos Culen, we hope you enjoy this publication and exhibition.
Regards,
