Every year, from April to November, colourful painted and printed banners are displayed on the streets of Port Moody. The StreetArts Banner Program is comprised of community, student and artist designed banners.

Community banners

Each year, 30 community designs and 15 duplicates are selected to be painted as part of the StreetArts Banners program. The call for designs typically occurs in September, and the chosen designs are painted early in the new year. The 15 duplicate banners are painted by volunteers. The banners are showcased in the Civic Centre Galleria in January before being installed on Port Moody streets. Duplicate banners are displayed in Pioneer Memorial Park. Once removed, designers are given the option to take their banner home.

Artist designed banners

Every two years, an artist is commissioned to design a printed street banner. The first step in this process involves posting a Call for Qualifications. A selection panel reviews the artists' qualifications and shortlists up to three artists. The shortlisted artists present their design concepts to the selection panel, and the final artist and design are selected concurrently. The final design is printed and displayed from spring to fall for a two-year period.

Student banners

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

2024 banners: "Planting Our Gardens"

Banners created in 2024 reflect the theme "Planting Our Gardens," a celebration of how communities grow and flourish together. Gardens serve as a powerful metaphor for nurturing relationships, fostering connections, and supporting the environment. Just as we plant seeds, tend to young shoots, and care for blossoms, we cultivate strong, vibrant communities.
