A vibrant art installation is launching in Kelowna on Thursday, April 3. 

The Arts Council of the Central Okanagan (ARTSCO) announced the opening of Vanishing Point, a new exhibition for Light Up Kelowna. The installation created by local artists Alison Beaumont, Joanne Gervais and Shauna Oddleifson references the human impact on the environment and how interactions with nature can have lasting consequences.

The stunning light and sound installation will be along the Artwalk, connecting the Rotary Centre for Arts and the Kelowna Community Theatre, with animations displayed on the north windows of the theatre. The animated artwork includes hand-drawn images, felted and crocheted items, digital drawings and collaged photographs.

"We used photographs, drawings, video and felted pieces to create a collaged landscape of the Okanagan, depicting water, trees, and animals, showing the landscape changing over time due to drought, fires, and other consequences of climate change,乌鸦传媒� Oddleifson said.

As visitors walk along the artwalk's light projections, they will experience synchronized sounds, representing different cycles of the climate.

The exhibition is an extension of an augmented reality piece featured in Ebb and Flow at the Kelowna Art Gallery. The new pieces will provide a closer look into the concepts all three artists previously presented during that exhibition.

Gervais added that she is "really excited" to see their artwork in an outdoor gallery space.

"It was great to further explore our ideas and create a longer animated tale," she said.

The public is invited to the opening of the Vanishing Point along the Artwalk and theatre on April 3 at 7:30 p.m.
