The Two Rivers Gallery was opened in 2000, but has origins which can be traced all the way back to 1949. Art has long been a part of Prince George’s heritage and culture, and in 1949 a new group known as the Prince George Art Society was formed. Its goal was to provide a place where local artists could connect with community members and to promote the arts in Prince George. The earliest members of the society gathered in each other’s homes for their regular meetings. Exhibits occurred in various locations throughout the community until the gallery’s first official, permanent space was opened in a donated house in 1969.

Two years later the Prince George Regional Art Gallery Association was established. The re-organized group began plans for a permanent art collection and a larger venue. In 1976 the gallery moved to a new, larger location where it would remain for over two decades.

Plans for a brand-new, dedicated facility began in the early 1990s. A feasibility study was conducted, building plans were created and fundraising was undertaken. Finally, in 2000, the new Two Rivers Gallery facility was opened to the public. The entire process was a community effort, and the 16,000 square foot space now houses hundreds of permanent pieces and maintains space for temporary exhibitions as well as public spaces for studio programs and facility rentals. The board and membership of the Prince George Regional Art Gallery Association continues to oversee its operation and make plans for the future of the gallery and the local arts culture.
