“Art and Culture give a community its soul,” said Breanna Nathorst, sales and events coordinator at Grizzli Winery.

“It is one of the anchors that make a community whole. We are delighted to host Art in the Park again this year. This is an amazing celebration of our talented artists and an exceptional wine experience that West Kelowna has to offer, the natural marriage of fine art and wine.”
