Art @ KCT

KPMG presents
ART@KCT Exhibition featuring Holly Dagenais and Mike Lennon

Art @ KCT is a professional art exhibition within the lobby of the Kelowna Community Theatre presenting the work of visual artists from the Central Okanagan featuring accessible, thought-provoking visual art.

The program presents the work of a variety of local visual artists to showcase Kelowna’s expansive creative community and provides professional development and progression opportunities for local artists.

Currently featuring the work of artists Holly Dagenais and Mike Lennon, this newest edition of the Art@KCT program highlights the work of two Okanagan artists working in diverse mediums.

In the Rise exhibition space, Holly Dagenais transitions the raw energy of street art onto canvas with Take the Space. Dagenais seeks to defy convention, both in artistic form and message. Her energetic and vibrant depiction of feminist street art is ignited by the stories and lives of queer and non-binary individuals. These individuals have not only taken their space but have carved it out in bold, unapologetic strokes. Take the Space is a celebration of the spaces they deserve, and a call to action for more inclusive representation in our world. 

In the Cube exhibition space, street & documentary-style photographer Mike Lennon presents Through the Rush. Since 2018, Lennon has focused on capturing candid portraits, serendipitous everyday moments, and landscapes all within the downtown core. Photographing on film and digital, he works to create striking and intriguing images that document his fascination with public everyday life. Working in the peripheral, Lennon engages his subjects but is careful not to disturb the moment in time he aims to capture.

Take the Space and Through the Rush will be on view from November 15, 2024 - February 1, 2025 in the lobby of the Kelowna Community Theatre.
