New mural to be unveiled in Downtown PG

The unveiling and celebration of an eye-catching new mural by local artist Theresa Sapergia is being celebrated later this week.

Tomorrow (Thursday), Tourism Prince George and the Prince George Community Arts Council are inviting the public to attend the Nanguz ’An Container Market, 850 Canada Games Way from 5pm to 7pm.

The installation features a burst of Northern-inspired themes, rendered in Sapergia’s expressive style to help create dynamic, community-driven public spaces
in downtown Prince George.

“This mural uniquely showcases Prince George in a bold artistic manner and really created a strong centerpiece for the market. Theresa did an exceptional job creating it and we are proud to be apart of adding more vibrant art to the downtown,” stated Colin Carson, CEO, Tourism Prince George.

Eli Klasner, Executive Director of the Community Arts Council, added

“Public art like this connects us, sparks conversation, and brings colour and vitality to our central gathering places. We’re excited to see Theresa’s vision become a
celebrated part of Prince George’s streetscape.”

The launch also kicks-off Community Art Days at Canada Games Plaza, hosted by Two Rivers Art Gallery, with a creative weekend of art, workshops and hands-on
activities ahead.
