PUBLIC DISPLAY AGENCY x DOWNTOWN KELOWNA ASSOCIATION

MEET ME ON BERNARD: DISCOVERY WALK 2026

Public Display Agency is excited to announce a new partnership with the Downtown Kelowna Association as part of this year’s Meet Me on Bernard Festival in Kelowna, BC.

We are currently seeking Okanagan-based artists to participate in the Discovery Walk, taking place July 25 – August 1, 2026.

Selected artists will have one artwork displayed inside a participating downtown business as part of an interactive city-wide art experience. Visitors will be able to pick up a printed program or access the walk digitally, guiding them on a journey through downtown Kelowna to discover each artwork and artist along the route.

Last year, over 500 people checked into the Discovery Walk, and we anticipate even more participation this year.

There is no fee to participate. If selected, participation is completely free for artists.

Artists will be responsible for:• Hanging and removing their own work• Managing any sales inquiries directly• Providing a visible QR code or contact information for viewers interested in learning more or purchasing work

This is an exciting opportunity to showcase your work to a large public audience while becoming part of one of Kelowna’s most vibrant summer festivals.

Selected artists will be notified on or before May 29, 2026.

Apply below to be considered.
