Prince George, B.C. – The 2015 Canada Winter Games is calling  on northern BC artists  to submit their proposal for a "Spirit of the Games " project.

This project  is to be a mural depicting northern BC and the  legacy of  the 2015 Games.  It will be painted on the exterior arrivals wall of the Prince George Airport .

"We are thrilled YXS has been chosen as a location for a 2015 Games legacy art piece. We've worked really hard expanding our community art program and the 'Spirit of the Games' is a welcome addition,” says Prince George Airport Authority President and CEO, John Gibson. “The wall where this mural will be displayed is in a high traffic location, it is also one of the first things people will see when coming into our city. We look forward to sharing the story of the 2015 Canada Winter Games for years to come."

Interested artists from northern BC are asked to submit their proposal and supporting documents by June 9.  Artists  can  get  a  detailed list of what the proposal must include on the websites of each partnering organization: www.studio2880.com, www.pgairport.ca, www.canadagames2015.ca.

Proposals will be juried through a selection committee that is made up of representatives from the 2015 Games, Prince George & District Community Arts Council and Prince George Airport Authority. The successful proposal will be selected in July, with the mural to be unveiled this September.
