Proposals
The Gallery hosts up to twelve exhibitions of art a year in two exhibition spaces. Emphasis is on showing work of professional artists and on bringing exhibitions of national importance to Prince George.
Two Rivers Gallery in partnership with the City of Prince George is pleased to announce the 2013 Street Banner Project. Two Rivers Gallery invites artists and designers to submit up to three entries for a juried competition for the design of banners. Up to eight successful designs will be digitally printed on high-quality outdoor banners to be displayed across the city.
The 2013 Street Banner Project aims to:
• Add colour and creative expression to the city's streets and public spaces

Street banner locations may include:

• Designs must be in full colour and colours should be full intensity, as natural light will filter through them, lightening them by several shades
• In some areas banners will be viewed by drive-by traffic: Simple, bold designs are best
• Areas of solid colour are recommended
• Small details and complicated designs are not effective, keep your designs bold and simple
• Banner designs will be viewed from both sides as dyes will saturate fabric

The Two Rivers Gallery is seeking proposals for exhibitions of sculpture in any medium for our second floor Sculpture Court. The Sculpture Court is a small, outdoor space measuring roughly 18ft x 28ft. It is unsheltered; therefore, work must be able to withstand exposure to variable and sometimes severe weather conditions.
Next Deadline: 8 February, 2013
Two Rivers Gallery is organizing a juried exhibition for 2013 which looks at the contentious issue of pipelines. Pipeline: is it a lifeline, an economic dynamo or a disaster waiting to happen. Will it revitalise the province or does it pose an unacceptable risk to the environment? Is it a good initiative, a bad one or, rather than a black and white issue, is it simply grey. The pipeline is one of the most polarising topics of conversation and it has expanded to include critiques around environmental policy, review processes and accusations of radicalism. Regardless of whether you are an artist whose work expresses a supportive, critical or neutral perspective,
we invite you to respond to this call for submissions with up to six artworks produced within the last three years. Artists are invited to submit photographs or digital images of up to six artworks for the exhibition. Artists selected for the exhibition will receive an artist's fee.
