Kurt Hutterli exhibits unusual finds
Kurt Hutterli | The Museum of Unknown Civilizations
This exhibition is Kurt’s second in Penticton. In 2003 the (then) Art Gallery of the South Okanagan hosted ‘A Colourful Meeting”, an eclectic collection of brightly coloured display made from found and made objects. The exhibition was a precursor to this exhibition in ways. It was around this time that Kurt began a new project entitled The Museum of Unknown Civilizations. This exhibition will showcase Hutterli’s latest installment of this ongoing project and fifteen years of work.

A great “thing” this weekend
This is the first time the artists have shown together and the first time to have a show on this scale not connected with a group. Although their styles are completely different they share a love of art and an appreciation of each other’s talent. Both are members of the Oliver Arts Council, the Sagebrusher Art Club and the RipOff Artists and both have won awards in their categories at the Oliver’s Fall Art Show and Sale. In 2013 and 2014, the two organized “Art Without Borders”, very successful exchange visits with artists from Oliver’s sister city, Lake Chelan. Over time the two have crossed paths, immersed in art and become good friends.
“It’s a Tara & Marion thing” is open daily 10 am to 4 pm from Thursday August 11 through Saturday, August 13 at 6220 Main Street. Take the doorway between The Oliver Shoe Store and the Artisan Bakery to the back of the building. Here you’ll find Tara and Marion welcoming you to view and purchase some of their fine art.
