Sculpture artists are now invited to submit their work for consideration in the 2026 Penticton Public Sculpture Exhibition.
“Now entering its 10th year, this exhibit has become a much-loved tradition in Penticton,” says Jeff Plant, manager of Recreation, Arts & Culture. “Each year, the selected sculptures transform our waterfront and downtown into an open-air gallery, captivating tens of thousands of residents and visitors for an entire year. We’re excited to see what artists will bring to next year’s showcase.”
The new collection will be unveiled in May 2026 and remain on display for one year at prominent locations along the Okanagan Lake waterfront and throughout downtown Penticton. All sculptures are owned by the artists and leased to the City of Penticton for the duration of the exhibit.
Artists have until Dec. 15, 2025 to submit their proposals. The current installations by seven artists will remain in place until April 2026.
