Art for Impact
April 18
The KF Centre for Excellence is proud to welcome Art for Impact: An Okanagan Fine Art Auction, an inspiring evening where art, community, and generosity come together to support an important local cause.
On Saturday, April 18, Kelowna’s Gospel Mission will host this special fundraising event inside the Centre’s iconic aviation setting. Guests will enjoy an elevated evening featuring original artwork from talented artists, a live art auction, silent and live auctions, culinary experiences, and live entertainment, all in support of programs that serve individuals experiencing homelessness, poverty, and hardship in our community.
As a place dedicated to inspiring curiosity, education, and connection through aviation, the KF Centre for Excellence regularly brings people together for meaningful events that celebrate community. Art for Impact is one of those evenings – a gathering that pairs creativity and generosity with real local impact.
Supporting Kelowna’s Gospel Mission

Through services including emergency shelter, meals, outreach support, connections to recovery programs, casework, and a Community Dental Clinic, the organization provides compassionate care and practical support for those working toward stability and healing.
Their mission is simple and powerful: “To feed the hungry, shelter the homeless, and help the hurting.”
Turning Inspiration into Impact
Art for Impact transforms one inspiring evening into meaningful change. Funds raised during the event help support the Mission’s essential programs, ensuring that individuals and families in need have access to care, support, and pathways toward hope.
By hosting the event at the KF Centre for Excellence, the evening brings together art, generosity, and community in a space dedicated to discovery and learning – creating an unforgettable night that celebrates the power of people coming together for good.
