Owen Sound Banner Project
Owen Sound Art Banner Project
The Owen Sound Art Banner Project Committee is a group of local volunteers interested in Building broad community support and participation in displaying the work of local artists in the form of street banners. In addition to adding artistic value to the downtown streetscape, this project has great potential to increase tourist interest and civic pride in the downtown area.The images displayed on the banners will be selected by a committee of local artists, and will be fully self-funded by art patrons, who will then receive the banners at the end of their public display period. This process keeps interest high, and creates an annual stream of fresh images.
The City of Owen Sound has approved this concept on a trial basis, with the initial launch scheduled for the harbour front area in late summer 2009. “Can you just visualize 40 banners along the waterfront all images from local artists. What a wonderful way to promote Owen Sound”.
If successful, the goal is to roll this program out to the downtown area in 2010.
We now have 40 banners beautifully displayed on Owen Sound'
You can support this wonderful project … For only $100 you can sponsor one of the banners. This means it is your to keep after the public display period is over.
