The City of Yellowknife (the City) is seeking artists to submit design concepts to be included on street pole banners hanging from poles located along Old Airport Road.

All forms of artwork are being accepted, however the final version of the artwork must be converted to a digital format. The deadline to submit a draft concept is August 4, 2023. The goal is to accommodate up to 10 unique designs.

Successful applicants will receive $750 for use of their designs and are expected to complete their individual projects by August 31, 2023. Artists may submit more than one design, but that doesn’t guarantee all designs submitted will be selected.

In 2016 and 2017, the City commissioned artists to paint transformer boxes located throughout the city. The project was well received by both artists and residents.

“The City is excited to once engage with local artists to showcase the talent and vibrancy of our community. The street pole banners along Old Airport Road are highly visible and this project will add to the overall landscaping of the area,” said Mayor Alty.
