What Events and Programs Does Two Rivers Gallery Offer?
Updated
Two Rivers Gallery runs a year-round schedule of exhibitions, workshops, and opening receptions, with programming aimed at adults and youth. The site's "Upcoming Events & Programs" section lists individual events with dates and titles, and a "View more programs" link leads to the fuller calendar. If you want to attend something specific, check that listing first — the examples below show the range of formats, but dates and availability change.
Types of Programming
The gallery describes itself as a centre for visual art in Central and Northern BC, dedicated to lifelong learning through the arts. Its programming reflects that mix of exhibition viewing and hands-on participation.
Workshops
Workshops are ticketed, instructor-led sessions, typically organized by audience. The site's listings show separate categories for adult and youth programming, including:
- Woodburning with Hailey Smith: Wooden Ornaments — listed under Adult, Youth Workshops, Oct 9, 2026
- Paint & Sip with Erin Stagg: Witchy Pumpkins — listed under Adult Workshops, Oct 15, 2026
The "Paint & Sip" format suggests a social, beginner-friendly session, while the woodburning workshop is listed for both adults and youth, so it may suit a parent-and-child pairing. Confirm age suitability and materials on the individual event page before registering.
Opening Receptions
Opening receptions are free-form social events tied to a new exhibition. One example on the site:
- White Noise Opening Reception — Oct 29, 2026
These are generally the easiest way to see a new show early and meet other attendees, without committing to a multi-week workshop.
Exhibitions as Ongoing Programming
Exhibitions run for extended periods rather than as single events. The Main Gallery listing shows:
| Exhibition | Dates |
|---|---|
| Paradise Lost | July 24, 2026 – October 11, 2026 |
If your main interest is seeing art rather than attending a workshop, the exhibition calendar is the relevant schedule — check it separately from the events list.
How to Find and Join a Program
- Go to the gallery's website and open the Upcoming Events & Programs section on the homepage.
- Scan the listed events for date, title, and audience category (Adult, Youth, Opening Reception, and similar labels).
- Select View more programs to see the full calendar beyond the homepage highlights.
- Open the individual event page for that event's details — the homepage listing gives date and title only.
- For visit logistics such as hours, location, and admission, use the Plan Your Visit page.
The homepage does not state prices, registration deadlines, or capacity for these events. Treat those as unknown until you open the specific event page or contact the gallery.
Practical Notes
- Dates are far out. The listed events fall in October 2026, so this is a forward-looking calendar rather than a this-week schedule. Re-check closer to the date in case of changes.
- Categories matter. "Adult, Youth Workshops" and "Adult Workshops" are distinct labels; use them to filter for who can attend.
- The shop is separate. The Two Rivers Gallery Shop sells art-focused items from artists, artisans, and makers across Western Canada — useful if you want to combine a visit with browsing local work, but it isn't part of the events program.
For anything not shown on the site — fees, refunds, waitlists, accessibility accommodations — contact the gallery directly rather than assuming.
