Two Rivers Gallery, "BMO community Art Days," 2021

Two Rivers Gallery is excited to announce BMO Community Art Days, a new but familiar summer event formerly known as KidzArt Dayz. The event will take place on Friday and Saturday July 8th and 9th from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. in Canada Games Plaza and at Two Rivers Gallery. BMO Community Art Days will focus on building community through the intersection of art and collaboration with local partners, featuring family-friendly art activities, workshops, performances, community vendors and food trucks. The theme of this year’s event is UNITY in Community.

Art workshops and activities include artist Francisco-Fernando Granados’s project True Colours, inviting individuals to paint personal flags that represent Pride and LGBTQ2S+ identity, ultimately creating a collective flag of many colours representing the diversity of our community. Other activities include Citizen Pong, featuring ping pong tables designed by local artists, available for free play by participants as a means of making personal connections.

Each day will feature a diverse and exciting group of local entertainers, including Shooting Stars Theatre and a set musical performance programmed by Mad Loon Entertainment, providing the event with a rich culture of performance. Eventgoers can also expect the return of familiar, family-friendly art stations with fun crafts for all ages, such as paper rocket making and paint spinning.

“BMO is delighted to continue to support BMO Community Art Days at Two Rivers Gallery, an annual summer event that strives to bring people together and build community through art,” said Aaron Kueng, Regional Vice President. “We are excited to enjoy the many activities, performances and vendors that will help make this year's event the best yet!”
