Through the Street Banner Art Program, artists create unique banners for the light posts in Whistler. Each series is displayed for two seasons and then sold to the public. Revenue from banner sales contributes to future public art projects.
Spring/Summer 2019 and 2020
The competition for the 2019/2020 spring/summer series was won by artist Brooke Allen for her proposal, “Explore More”.
The theme “Explore More” will be illustrated using a variety of eye wear that is worn during the spring and summer while enjoying all that Whistler has to offer —glasses, sunglasses, goggles, and binoculars. Each banner focuses on different activities including mountain biking, hiking, the Village Stroll, glacier sports, gondola tours, and festivals and events.
