Grizzly Bears
The work is located in City Park, on the east side of the water spray park.
The Work
This concrete sculpture, along with Ogopogo, is one of the oldest pieces in the public art collection and many residents remember visiting it as children. It reminds us of the connection between 'Kelowna' and its original meaning of 'grizzly bear' in the Okanagan/Syilx First Nation language.
The Project
This work was added to the City’s Public Art Collection when the Public Art Program was initiated in 1998. Little is known about the work other than that it is made of painted concrete.
The Artist
No information on the artist is available.
