The executive of the Penticton Art Gallery is holding an “information session” for its membership Monday at the gallery beginning at 6:30 p.m.
Members are invited “to learn more about our current circumstances and plans for the coming year.”
It’s been a turmultuous six weeks for the gallery as its much-loved curator Paul Crawford was put on temporary layoff due to financial challenges and his employment status remains unknown.
In 2023, when the gallery requested a $145,000 grant instead of its traditional $125,000, council voted 6-1 against the added money. (Coun. James Miller was the lone member in support of the boost.)
In the meantime, board members have resigned, the latest being Ankit Sachdeva.
A job for administration and finance coordinator has been posted on Indeed.
