Annual Banner Project Turns to Families in Isolation

Our 28th annual street beautification project was transformed into a community art initiative this year. To make the best of difficult times during the Covid-19 pandemic, the Arts Council has decided to transform the 2020 Annual Banner Project into a Community Art Initiative. Rather than banners from school groups being hung around Campbell River this summer (since those are self-isolating in school classrooms at the moment!), we have opened it up to families and individuals who want to share a message of joy, hope, and community spirit. What a great opportunity for families to have their art on display! 

We provided basic supplies, instructions, and delivered them safely to doorsteps. We received over 130 amazing banners this year. Look for yours: Willow Point, Pier Street, Shoppers Row, St. Ann’s Road, Spirit Square and The Spit.
