Tim Okamura - Artist Lecture and Exhibit Unveiling at Liquidity Wines
This fall, Canadian artist Tim Okamura – praised for his thoughtful integration of traditional storytelling through portraiture and contemporary issues – exhibits his latest collection at Liquidity Wines. The show is part of Liquidity’s year-long Canada 150 celebration, which pays homage to Canadian artists through a series of exhibits, workshops, events and lectures – all paired with award-winning wine and cuisine. Located in the Heart of Wine Country™ in the Okanagan Valley, Liquidity is the perfect destination to enjoy thought-provoking artwork in a stunning setting.
Okamura has exhibited in galleries worldwide and his work has appeared in several films; he is a recipient of the New York Foundation for the Arts Fellowship in Painting, and has been selected nine times to appear in the BP Portrait Award Exhibition at the National Portrait Gallery in London. Among other honours he was shortlisted to paint Queen Elizabeth's official portrait. Okamura will be on site at Liquidity on Saturday, September 9 to unveil his new exhibit "My Music", which will be accompanied by an intimate walk-and-talk session led by the artist himself. The event begins at 10:00am and is free to the public, though advance reservations are encouraged. Okamura's exhibit will grace the walls of Liquidity until October 9.
