Our neighbouring mountain town of Canmore has an exciting opportunity for professional artists and designers to showcase their work in the 2021 Banner Project.

Canmore town officials say that the call-out is specifically for Canmore and Morley artists. 

The vision behind the Banner Project is to heat up the town's public spaces in a way that inspires Canmore residents as well as draws the attention of visitors. 

Canmore town officials say that it's a unique opportunity for local artists and designers to create inviting work that represents a "strong sense of arrival, and visual connection to the area." 

They are looking to hire two different artists to create the banners with the incentive of a $1500 commission for each design.

The town is in the planning stages for the installation of new banners throughout the downtown core on 8 Street, the intersection of Benchlands Trail and Railway Avenue, as well as community entry points. 

Artists who are interested in learning more about the opportunity can attend a zoom information session on March 23, 2021, at 4:30 pm.

The deadline to submit entries is 4 pm on April 19, 2021.
