Community Banners
The Annual Community Banner Series designs animate and transform the city’s street scape into welcoming and engaging spaces. Artwork is created digitally and recreated onto vinyl street banners. The artwork is located within the City of Pickering. The Community Banner Series builds on the success of the original Community Banner Program. Each year, these new banners have contributed to colorful, vibrant, and City proud civic spaces in the City Centre. Banner artwork selected by a Public Art Jury; engages Pickering’s diverse local communities; celebrate the city’s natural, social and built environment; and brings more colour, beauty, pride and enjoyment to city streets, and gateways to our community.
The Pickering Community Banner Program celebrated the culture, heritage and beauty of our City. The City of Pickering invited Canadian artists of all ages to submit artwork to be used for the Community Banner Program. Using a single or a variety of mediums, artists were asked to highlight the cultural, heritage, and diversity of the City of Pickering through the annual theme. Up to 35 Community banners were selected annually through an open call for art. Community Banners were installed throughout City Centre (Esplanade North, Esplanade South, Valley Farm Road, Glenanna Road, Kingston Road) for a period of one year, and after removal were stored to be re-purposed, re-used, or recreated into an original works. See below the past Community Banner Designs.
The archive of Community Banner selected designs include an image of the banner designs, along with the artist’s statement and name.
