The Owen Sound Art Banner Project Committee is a group of local volunteers actively building broad community support and participation in displaying the work of local artists in the form of street banners. In addition to adding artistic value to the downtown streetscape, this project has great potential to increase tourist interest and civic pride in the downtown area.
The images displayed on the banners are selected by a committee of local artists, and are fully self-funded by art patrons, who then receive the banners at the end of their public display period. This process keeps interest high, and creates an annual stream of fresh images.
The Owen Sound Art Banner Committee is made up of:
- Ted Renner
- Christine Hempel
- Robert Alton
- Paulette Peirol
- Kim Dutfield
- Lynda Chiotti
