Two Rivers Gallery, Prince George-Lheidli T’enneh’s preeminent art gallery welcomes back Black History Month with an official exhibit for the third time in recent history. Heading the exhibition and showcase event is Public Programming Coordinator Maya Levy, who has made it her prerogative to represent local talent & expertise. A variety of keynote speakers and hands-on workshops will be open to the public, but so will a collection of art touching on this year's theme, “Community Roots.” Participants are able to bring an item that represents an aspect of their culture and incorporate it into a tree on display, creating an interactive piece that reflects diversity in the local community.
Until February 14th, anyone who identifies in the black diaspora who has created a visual art piece they’d like to share are invited to submit their piece for consideration to the gallery.
The online submission form can be found here.
Featuring visual art, musicians, keynote speakers and more, on Friday February 27th, Levy says, “it’s really for everyone in Prince George to really come out and support and learn about a new culture that they maybe haven’t before.”
