Publishing Works of Art Since 2014

Art is an integral part of society, and has been around from the very beginning. Even as they still lived in caves, our ancestors covered the walls of their homes in drawings, some of which can still be seen today. Since that time art has evolved into a greater and more sophisticated being, and has produced such masterpieces such as Michelangelo’s painting of the Sistine Chapel, or Da Vinci’s Mona Lisa. There are local masterpieces as well, such as Vernon’s downtown mural collection or Kelowna’s “Rhapsody” statue.

But what is art? The great German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche stated that “Art is the proper task of life.” In other words, that all life is art. And when you look out at the paintbrush views and sculpted landscapes that cover this region we live in, it is hard to deny he was right. At Okanagan Publishing House we strive to publish books as beautifully crafted as the region that inspired them. Our goal is to create books that not only contain art, but are art.
