Summerland’s history of the visual arts dates from the early 1950s with the founding of the Summerland Art Club. In 1968, the Summerland Community Arts Council (SCAC) was established. Our original home was the old bank building on Main Street where the Okanagan Regional Library is now located.



Light up the Arts is our annual Christmas Art and Gift Sale. This year’s sale starts on Tuesday, November 18th and runs until Wednesday, December 24th. Artists and Artisans are welcome to submit their applications and be part of this popular annual Christmas event.
With colourful fall leaves at hand, we’ll create a seasonal motif to reveal the magic of watercolour transparency with overlapping layered elements. This class will appeal to beginners with some basic watercolour knowledge and more advanced painters who’d like to expand their repertoire. Masking fluid and watercolour pencils supplied for experimentation.
