The Armstrong Spallumcheen Art Gallery in British Columbia is hosting the 35th annual Ribbon Show from July 2 to August 1, 2026. This judged exhibition features artwork by artists from the Shuswap and Okanagan regions across categories including representational, semi-representational, abstract, photography, 3D art, youth, and a newly added portrait category. A reception and awards evening will take place on July 9, and visitors can vote for the People’s Choice Award.

This event matters because it is a long-running community tradition that brings together regional artists and engages the public directly through voting. It highlights the gallery’s role in supporting local visual arts and providing accessible, free admission to a diverse range of artwork, reinforcing the cultural fabric of the Armstrong and Spallumcheen area.
