You'd be hard-pressed to find someone in Kelowna's arts and culture community that hasn't heard of Vincent Jones. The transplanted Englishman has been celebrating our city's creative community for more than a decade, whether through music columns with CBC Radio West and KelownaNow, or his tireless efforts with the likes of Music BC, BreakOut West 2018 (and 2023!), the inaugural Kelowna Fringe Festival, Living Things International Arts Festival and many, many more. Most recently, Vince has been volunteering as the marketing and communications co-chair for Kelowna Made, the City's new signature event.
Vince is a proud Bachelor of Arts graduate from UBC Okanagan and the co-owner of a boutique marketing and branding agency, By Jove Co. In addition to being a champion and advocate for the community, Vince is also the proud parent of a mentally unstable cat named Kitty. His loving wife, Valaura, wrote this bio.
To connect with Vince, you can find him on Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn.
