For 18 years, Penticton Art Gallery invited artists of all ages and mediums to submit up to three artworks, each priced under $500, for an annual exhibition and sale. This event, growing each year, attracted interest from artisans, crafters, and visual artists across British Columbia and beyond, offering a wide range of submissions from established to emerging artists. It guarantees something for everyone, whether it's a gift or a personal purchase.

This exhibition stands as the Federation's annual philanthropic showcase!

The primary aim of this exhibition is to recognize the achievements of established artists through prize awards, while also extending support to emerging talents. A portion of the submission fees collected contributes to the creation of a $1,000 bursary, benefiting a post-secondary level student pursuing visual arts studies. Notable past recipients of these bursaries include Langara College, the University of British Columbia, Emily Carr School of Art and Design, and the Ontario College of Art and Design.

The South Delta Artists Guild is a member-directed, self-sustaining organization dedicated to supporting the appreciation and development of the visual arts. It was incorporated as a not-for-profit society in 1975 by a small group of local artists. Over the years, the Guild’s activities took place at several locations in Tsawwassen, including the Phoenix Club, a multi-use old converted firehall condemned and demolished in 2003. In 1999, the Guild signed a partnership agreement with Delta to become the primary user of the Kiwanis Longhouse, which was built in 1973. After raising funds to renovate and equip the space, the Guild moved in and remains there today.
