Street banner program

The competition for the Fall/Winter 2018 series was won by artist Claire Ryan for her proposal, “The Ultimate Winter Weekend in Whistler”. The series features four winter activity scenes frequently enjoyed during Whistler’s winter. As the artist wrote: “To me, the ultimate weekend in Whistler is to spend the hours outside with friends and family while enjoying the things that make our resort unique. The banners illustrate ripping down the slopes on skis or snowboard; admiring the unending views surrounding the Black Tusk from the Inukshuk on the peak; skating the frozen lakes under the majestic view of our mountains; and exploring the winter landscape throughout Lost Lake on Nordic skis.”

Banners to Bags

The Banners to Bags program turns retired street banners into reusable bags, breathing new life into these banners. Now they can be enjoyed as reusable shopping bags, reducing our dependency on plastic bags.

Each bag is an artist’s unique creation and is a piece of Whistler’s cultural heritage. Local organizations, businesses, and visiting conferences have the opportunity of selling the bags as a product or fundraising item, with the remaining proceeds going towards the Municipal Art Fund.
