BMO Community Art Days

July 12th and 13th, 2024

Two Rivers Gallery is excited to announce the return of BMO Community Art Days. This free, all-ages event will take place on Friday July 12 and Saturday July 13 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Canada Games Plaza and at Two Rivers Gallery. BMO Community Art Days will engage our community through the intersection of art and collaboration with local partners, featuring family-oriented activities, workshops, performances, community partners and food trucks. The theme of this year’s event is Archival Renewal.

Come visit our two artists-in-residence! Local artist Adam Ross emulates the style of Bob Ross in his live painting demos and Vancouver-based printmaker and comics artist Tajliya Jamal will invite folks to participate in a collaborative artwork utilizing archival family photos, and memories of Prince George. This year’s iteration will bring back many fan-favourites including the return of Citizen Pong! Featuring ping pong tables designed by local artists, it will be available for free play by participants as a means of making personal connections. Additionally, many familiar, family-friendly art stations with fun crafts for all ages, such as paper rocket making and fingerprint painting will be in full swing!

Each day will feature a diverse and exciting group of local performers programmed by Inspire Productions, including the Khast’an Drummers, Phat Funk, Colin & Kiziah, Genevieve Jaide, DJ Smashley, Grace Hoksbergen, YXS, DJ Nige, Inspire and Andy Heywood providing Community Art Days with the lively performances that event goers have come to expect.

Stay tuned for artist and event highlights through out the weeks leading up to the event!

Nonreturnables: A Plastic Expo

November 5th, 2023

Nonreturnables

Two Rivers Gallery’s 2023 exhibitions Dismantled Worlds and Nonreturnables deal with some of the threats facing the world today including consumerism, climate change and pollution. A key concern is our relationship to plastic. This issue is examined through the lenses of eight British Columbian artists which comprise the Nonreturnables exhibition.

Within Prince George, there are many resources and facilities that help us navigate our relationship with plastic and other materials. Two Rivers Gallery proposes a recycling fair in which organisations like the recycling depot, REAPS and proponents of upcycling movements congregate to share information about this challenge. Two Rivers Gallery is also interested in exploring a community recycling/exchange table where items may be collected, often in exchange for another, as well as a costume or other upcycling station.
