The Sixth Annual Banner Project is officially ready to reveal the flags that have been selected to wave proudly over Victoria Avenue in remarkable downtown Fernie!
The Adjudication Committee was again amazed with the remarkable array of talent that artists working in Fernie possess. The number of entries for 2010 continued the trend of annual increased submissions and the prospects for the Sixth Annual Banner Project explored all aspects of inspiration with artists working with paint, film, fabric and everything in between. The talent in Fernie is organic and explosive as all residents and visitors in Fernie will experience when the 35 selected banners colour the days and nights of an already illuminating community!
The finished banners will be unveiled at the Banner Project Launch at The Arts Station, on Wednesday, April 21, at 7pm. as part of BC Arts and Culture Week. This is the time where you can sponsor a banner for just $100 and help add color and culture to our streets. Two years later, the banner is yours! After the banner has hung along Victoria (2nd) Avenue for a year it is then relocated along the highway for another. This project is possible thanks to the City of Fernie and the District Arts Council who underpin the project. It is your generosity that makes the Project sustainable and all who experience the artistic explosion in their day appreciate it!
