celebration of creativity

Two Rivers Gallery is thrilled to facilitate the 28th annual BMO KidzArt Dayz! This year on July 6th and 7th we expect to see over 10,000 people of all ages engage in a celebration of creativity through art, music, and movement. It is a very special time of year for the gallery as we are able to connect multiple generations of people through the exploration of culture.

There will be a large variety of opportunities for creative expression, with more than 25 hands on art activities available throughout Canada Games Plaza and in the gallery itself. The Frozen Paddle and other food trucks will be providing tasty treats throughout the days. Live on stage Andrew Kim is performing as Andy the Musical Scientist. Hula Hoop Circus is giving a great show and a play shop for kids. Other special guests include the Khast’an Drummers, Bollywood Dream Dancers, and Chinook Yoga. Carolyn Holmes, Executive Director of Two Rivers Gallery, explains “BMO KidzArt Day is like no other event in Prince George. Two Rivers Gallery is proud to host a free family festival that is accessible to all and engages young minds and hands. It is a delight to see people of all ages participating in activities that give them a chance to play with ideas and express themselves”.

The event is enhanced by the participation of our friends at The Exploration Place, Prince George Railway and Forestry Museum, Huble Homestead Historic Site, and many more. BMO KidzArt Dayz Coordinator Sebastian Nicholson exclaims, “This BMO KidzArt Dayz is going to be a blast! It’s not just giving the opportunity to engage in something fun, it’s a way to bring our community closer together. When I get asked why art is important, I explain that art is how people express themselves and share ideas. BMO KidzArt Dayz is a way to celebrate that and find out for ourselves why art matters”.

It is amazing how much support goes in to BMO KidzArt Dayz and it is in thanks to BMO Bank of Montreal, the City of Prince George, Regional District of Fraser-Fort George, CKPG, 99.3 the Drive, 101.3 The River, The Citizen, Emily Carr University of Art + Design, Northern Development Initiative Trust, Prince George Community Foundation, and our volunteers that we are able to continue this celebration of creativity, with you, in the community.
