Proposal Guidelines 2008 PDF  | Print |  E-mail

Two Rivers 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.

Gallery Physical Specifications

The main floor Galleries are each roughly 1300 square feet with 140 running feet of wall space. Two exhibitions usually run concurrently. Each Gallery has fourteen-foot high side walls, terminating in a sloping ceiling. Gallery temperature and relative humidity are kept within the paramaters of generally accepted museum standards (21 C and 45% RH) and light levels from overhead track lighting can be easily controlled.

Artist's Fees

The Two Rivers Gallery is a professionally run public art gallery. As such it is not our practice to hold exhibitions of art for the purpose of sale. We recognise the professionalism of artists, however, and their right to make a living from their work. To this end we support artists exhibiting in the Gallery by providing:

  • Artist's fees
  • Shipping -usually one way
  • Exhibition promotion
  • Exhibition installation
  • Insurance for work in our care

Crating and, where appropriate, framing of work is typically the responsibility of the artist and must meet appropriate standards.

Exhibition Proposal Submission Guidelines

The Two Rivers Gallery periodically invites exhibition proposals from artists and curators. We recommend that submissions include:

  • A current resumé or curriculum vitae
  • Approximately twenty numbered slides of current work, or work related to the proposed exhibition. All slides must be labelled with the artist's name, title of work, dimensions and labelled clearly as to which direction is up in the slide carousel.
  • A slide list including titles, date of production, medium and size.
  • A statement relating to the current work.
  • A clear, concise and detailed proposal for exhibition.
  • A self addressed, sufficiently stamped envelope if you wish your submission to be returned. Otherwise, it will be kept on file for one year to be picked up before being discarded.

Packages that do not include the above may be insufficiently complete to consider.

Up-to-date information regarding submissions and exhibition proposals can be found at the bottom of this page.

Exhibition Submissions / Calls for Exhibition Proposals

The Gallery usually holds calls for submissions for juried and themed group exhibitions once a year.

Calls for Exhibition Proposals generally take place every two years. The next deadline is October 31st, 2008.

Sculpture Court: Call for Proposals PDF  | Print |  E-mail

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 18? x 28?. It is unsheltered; therefore, work must be able to withstand exposure to variable and sometimes severe weather conditions.
