The Vision of OKANAGAN ART WORKS online magazine is to nurture, encourage, promote, and showcase the extraordinary talented artists who have chosen the Okanagan region in beautiful British Columbia, Canada as their home studio for creating original art. We also show appreciation to those who support local artists by collecting their work.
