À propos

As part of Culture Days in Kelowna, visitors are invited to experience Animate Kelowna, a community-powered animated short that celebrates the vibrant beauty of the Okanagan region, its landscapes, wildlife, and the people who call it home. Conceptualized and animated by local artist Obiajulu (Obi) Nwosisi, the short was created using hundreds of hand-coloured individual animation frames, with residents contributing to the creative process one frame at a time.

The full animation will be projected onto the showcase window outside the Kelowna Visitor Centre, offering attendees a chance to see how many individual contributions can become one shared celebration of place, creativity, and community.

This project is funded by the City of Kelowna Community Art Grant program.
