Ridley Terminals Inc. (RTI) will be purchasing $50,000 worth of artwork from artists in Northern B.C.

The artwork will then be donated to charities to use in their fundraising efforts. The art will be purchased from any artist residing in Northern B.C.

The art pieces to be purchased will vary in value and a variety of mediums will be selected.

Hint: think about what will be useful and popular for fundraisers.

This proposal can be art pieces that are already made, or will need to be commissioned from the artist.

The proposals must be submitted via email, and must include a high quality jpeg photo of the piece, a detailed written description of the piece, and a biography of the artist.

An adjudication committee of qualified people will make the final selection of art to be purchased.
