Season 2 Episode 22: Starry nights, music festival installations and championing arts in Whistler (with Dave Petko)

In this episode of The Whistler Podcast, Councillor Cathy Jewett speaks with artist Dave Petko (“Pepe”). 

Dave’s art spans from murals, paintings, sculptures, large scale installations for music festivals, and snowboard graphics to tattoos. You’ll find his work around Whistler: the mural on the Whistler Olympic Plaza washrooms, and at Black Ohm Tattoos. He was awarded the Whistler Champion of Arts and Culture in the 2021 Whistler Excellence Awards. 

Dave’s glow-in-the-dark exhibit Starry Nights is at the Gallery at the Maury Young Arts Centre. The exhibit is running until March 6.
