Turtle Island Gallery

History

Georgette Johnson has been the proud owner and operator of Turtle Island Gallery for the past twelve years.  Located in the Heart of Kelowna's arts and cultural district the Gallery features Northwest Coast Art created by the Haida, Kwaguilth, Tsimshian, Coast Salish and various other tribes of B.C. as well Metis, Cree and Ojibwe artists' works from across Canada.

The Gallery has a stunning selection of Northwest Coast wood carvings including ceremonial masks, totem poles, talking sticks, plaques, and bentwood style boxes.  You will also discover pieces carved of argillite and soapstone.  And, if you are into jewellery the exquisite hand carved gold and silver bracelets, rings, earrings and pendants are a must see.

For those into the more one dimensional style of art, we have original paintings and limited edition prints both contemporary and traditional.

The Gallery also houses an exquisite collection of Canada's leading and internationally acclaimed First Nations fashion designer Dorothy Grant.  As well, there is a wonderful selection of Pendelton Blankets from the woolen mills in Pendleton,Oregon.

The Gallery is open throughout the year from 10:00 a.m. until 5:30 pm Monday through Saturday.  In the summer we extend our hours on Thursday and Friday evenings until 8:00 p.m. and open on Sundays from 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m.

Turtle Island Gallery is definitely a feast for the senses.  Come by for a visit and indulge yourself!
