The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of our creative community. Since 1989, the Alternator has shown the work of emerging Canadian artists and helped develop the talents of local artists by providing a network of collaboration and sharing. We foster energetic, creative, critical discussion on art & culture. We believe in the greater positive potential of our creative community and value our role as key contributors to the cultural life of Kelowna and beyond. The Alternator Centre for Contemporary Art is run by the Okanagan Artists Alternative Association.
