The Sunshine Coast Arts Council has launched a new series of banners along Dolphin Street, between Inlet and Trail. The banners represent the work of Sunshine Coast artists and features, in this second year of the program, eight different artists.
Each banner is double sided with the work of two different artists. The “tail” which hangs from the main banner has the Arts Council logo along with directional arrows (where appropriate) to the Arts Centre. This year’s artists are: Jan Jensen, Katherine Johnston, Judy McLarty, Leonard Brett, Liz Christian, Motoko, Sandy Kay, Todd Clark and Bill Wilkinson.
“We hope the banners not only elicit visual interest, but help direct people to the Arts Centre,” the Arts Council said in a release. “Time and again we hear from long-time residents of Sechelt and other areas of the Sunshine Coast, that they do not know where we are or have never been inside our very unique post-and-beam building. We want to change that and we’re hoping that the banners will entice and direct traffic to our gallery and arts centre.”
Sponsor for this project include: The Sechelt Dental Centre, Sechelt Insurance, Gibsons Building Supplies, Ocean Breeze Accounting Inc., Sunshine Coast Lions Club of Sechelt and Backstream Physiotherapists.
