StreetArts Banner Program

Colourful painted and printed banners are displayed on the streets of Port Moody as part of the StreetArts Banner Program, which features designs from the community, students, and artists.

This year’s theme: The Burrard Inlet

The Burrard Inlet is a rich and vibrant ecosystem, teeming with life both above and below the water. It provides essential food sources and habitat for marine birds and fish, while also serving as a cherished place for recreation, reflection, and cultural connection. This year, we invite the public to submit imaginative and playful designs inspired by the creatures—real or mythical—that inhabit the skies and waters of the Inlet. We encourage you to let your creativity dive deep or soar high, drawing inspiration from key themes like sea creatures, buried treasure, marine birds, aquatic life, and water sports.

Community designed banners

Every second year, 30 original community designs and 15 duplicates are selected for the StreetArts Banners program. Participants paint the banners during the community banner-painting event in January at the Port Moody City Hall Galleria, located at 100 Newport Drive. Afterward, the finished banners are displayed in the Civic Centre Galleria, before being installed on Port Moody streets from April 2026 to April 2028. Duplicate banners are showcased along Knowles Street beside Pioneer Memorial Park. Once the display period ends, designers may take their banner home.

Student designed banners

High school students from Heritage Woods Secondary School and Port Moody Secondary School design and paint banners based on the current banner theme.
