Poirier 1 President’s Report The year 2013 has been an incredibly successful one of ground-breaking creativity and inspiring community engagement for the Kelowna Art Gallery. As Board Chair, it has been my honour to work with a dedicated and talented staff team, fellow Board members, and volunteers to bring the KAG’s vision to life. This year, we were inspired to look at art through a new lens with the Just Imagine exhibition, which showcased works by people with visual impairments. Internationally-acclaimed artist Douglas Walker drew us into his blue world with jaw-dropping, mega-size murals in Other Worlds. KAG literally broke ground with a new living exhibition in the courtyard space, called A Green Desire, by local artist Kyle Zsombor. Visitors to the Kelowna International Airport continued to be delighted by commissions created by artists Wanda Lock and Glenn Clark. World-class exhibitions and engaging programming would not be possible without the generous support of KAG donors and members. The Board and staff extend sincere thanks to those leaders in our community who have made the Gallery part of their philanthropic vision. In the spring we held a new and innovative fundraising event–Appetite for Art–marrying guests’ passion for good food, great local wines and beverages, and outstanding visual arts. Proceeds from this event directly contributed to important programming for children and adults with disabilities so they can explore a world of creativity and expression through art. At the Kelowna Art Gallery an important priority is to support and promote the collection of original art. We recognized that auction-style fundraisers were not always resulting in the intended benefits for artists and to awareness of fair-market value for creative endeavours. So as a Board, we created a new policy stating that KAG will not do auction-style fundraising of pieces from artists’ holdings, and instead will offer works of art for sale at prices equal to their fair-market value, in support of both the Gallery and the artists. The Kelowna Art Gallery is honoured to be one of the City of Kelowna’s cultural institutions. And thanks to the City’s Cultural Services Department we had an opportunity as Board and staff to come together with the Rotary Centre and Kelowna Museums to share experiences, learning, and best practices. We appreciate this important connection with the City and our colleagues in the cultural community, and look forward to further collaboration with partners in this sector to enhance all artistic endeavours and productivity. Sincere thanks to two long-serving members of the KAG Board who are leaving us this year – accomplished artist Mary Smith McCulloch, and lawyer Laura Myles. Your input and dedication has truly made a difference. And we’d like to welcome two new members to the Board – Dylana Bloor and Joanna Wrzesniewski. Together we will continue to inspire, provoke, and create for many years to come. Respectfully submitted, Marla O’Brien President 2 Executive Director’s Report The Kelowna Art Gallery is a place where our members, visitors, and schoolchildren can come to be inspired, to learn, create, debate, and be challenged. Ensuring these kinds of outcomes places a huge responsibility on the Gallery, its Board of Directors, and its staff, that is to constantly identify and develop fresh exhibitions and programs that engage the varied audiences that we serve. The public face of the gallery is only one part of what we do. Behind the scenes, we work as team to improve operations, make use of new tools, and form new partnerships in the community – all with the goal of effectively, memorably, and meaningfully serving the public. The past year has been one of many accomplishments, both operationally and in terms of programs. This Annual Report summarizes the excellent work undertaken by the Board of Directors, staff, and volunteers in the twelve months of 2013. The installation of ten exhibitions and accompanying publications (both print and digital) was overseen by Curator, Liz Wylie. Liz was assisted by Registrar Christina Hedlund until March, 2013. We welcomed Clea Haugo in August, 2013, who joined the Gallery team as Registrar. We were pleased to commission the first Artist’s Garden Project in the Rotary Courtyard space in the spring, and I look forward to exploring future artist-created gardens in the years to come. Two regional artists were commissioned to produce work for the Kelowna International Airport satellite exhibition space. In 2013, the Kelowna Art Gallery toured two exhibitions to five public art galleries in three Canadian provinces. We were privileged to be able to add two important works of art to our permanent collection by means of generous donations. The Gallery has focused its educational activities on partnering collaboratively with other community organizations and ensuring our programs are accessible. Head of Public Programming, Renee Burgess, and Education Co-ordinator, Brenda Feist, have ensured that a diverse array of scholastic programs and life-long learning opportunities in the visual arts are available to citizens of all ages in our region. They also organized several community-based exhibitions in the Front Project Space. Marketing and Events Co-ordinator, Joshua Desnoyers increased the Gallery’s profile in the media and the community at large. In addition to many opening receptions, Joshua headed-up two GO! Party events as well as the inaugural Appetite For Art fundraising event in 2013. In addition, several organizations and individuals rented space at the Gallery to host workshops and receptions. Kyle L. Poirier, KAG’s Graphic Designer, produced high-quality print and online exhibition catalogues and marketing materials. Kyle also advanced our IT capacities significantly in 2013 by upgrading our website, and increasing digital access to the Gallery’s resources. Preparator Mike O’Doherty worked with the curatorial team and all staff to ensure that the exhibitions were professionally hung and the facility was well-maintained. Thanks to Administrative Assistant Penny Hechter (July, 2013). We welcomed Tanya Nahachewsky to this position in October, 2013. Thanks to Gallery Assistants for their continued commitment to offering excellent hospitality to thousands of Gallery visitors over the year. 3 Executive Director’s Report Gallery volunteers number over one hundred, and we are thankful for the assistance they offer with gallery openings, GO! Parties, and special events. We are happy to have our well-trained crew of docents who assist with delivering the Gallery’s tours and studio activities to the students of School District #23. I am pleased that auditors KPMG presented 2013 financial statements and a year-end audit that meets all the requirements for by a non-profit organization, and I am happy to report that the Kelowna Art Gallery is in a solid financial position. We extend our thanks to the funding agencies that provide operating support to the Gallery: the City of Kelowna, The Canada Council for the Arts, the British Columbia Arts Council and the Province of British Columbia. Public and educational programs in 2013 were supported by School District #23, the Regional District of the Central Okanagan, the Vancouver Foundation, and the Central Okanagan Community Foundation. As always, we are indebted to Gallery members, donors, sponsors, and visitors who all play important roles in ensuring we remain an important cultural organization in our community. Respectfully submitted, Nataley Nagy Executive Director 4 Curator’s Report In the 2013 year we were pleased to present a varied array of ten exhibitions. Our commitment is to generate provocative exhibition programming for the community and our visitors, and to foster collaborations with other galleries, as well as bring important touring exhibitions to Kelowna. All this is in keeping with our mandate to support and promote the work of contemporary Canadian artists. Our curatorial aim is to provide a changing slate of exhibitions that reflects the wide variety of approaches to artistic practice and art making in Canada. From our small solo shows in the Mardell G Reynolds Gallery to the large exhibitions in our climate-controlled space, the Treadgold/ Bullock Gallery, we set out to showcase a wide variety of work by all sorts of intriguing artists. We continue to select two local artists annually who are commissioned to produce new work for solo installations on our forty-foot-long wall at the departures area of the Kelowna International Airport. Our publications that accompany the exhibitions are considered an integral function of the public gallery network, as they disseminate and preserve information about the artists and their work, and provide a forum for in-depth curatorial discussion and analysis. Our series of black-and-white, pamphlet-style catalogues for the Reynolds Gallery shows are inexpensive to produce and are therefore free to the visiting public.

Abstraction reveals what it left behind, a track of energy. Abstraction indicates the state of mind that the artist inhabited while he assumed the creative responsibility. Bryan Ryley leaves indicators and passes over the flame of insight to the viewer with a practiced hand. Ryley has never tied down the field of possibilities with inconsequential dribble. Throughout series past, he has held a strict abstract agenda, giving us paint, pencil, paper, canvas a “medium is the message” type of artist.
