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.

Next Deadline: 17 February, 2012

Two Rivers Gallery is organizing a juried exhibition for 2012 which looks specifically at the work that First Nations artists across BC are making. 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.

Follow this link to download a copy of the call for submissions which provides further details. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Curator George Harris at the address below.



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 peramaters of generally accepted museum standards (21 degrees C and 47.5% RH) and light levels from overhead track lighting can be easily controlled.

Artist's Fees
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 support artists exhibiting in the Gallery by providing:

  • artist's fees
  • shipping
  • 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
Two Rivers Gallery invites exhibition proposals from artists and curators roughly every two years. We recommend that submissions include:
  1. A current resume or curriculum vitae
  2. 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. Note: Slides are preferred but high resolution electronic images in a.tiff or.jpg format will be accepted if slides are unavailable. PowerPoint presentations will not be accepted.
  3. An image list including titles, date of production, medium and size.
  4. A statement relating to the current work.
  5. A clear, concise and detailed proposal for exhibition.
  6. 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.
