Description

Sponsored by the South Vancouver Neighbourhood House and Victoria Drive Business Association, a banner project was developed in 1999 for south Victoria Drive to provide a stronger neighbourhood look and feel to this local commercial area. Artists Sima Elizabeth Shefrin and Yvonne Clements led workshops with a wide range of community groups, including students and seniors, to develop designs for individual banners. The banners feature recognizable images of home and family from various cultures. Using an applique technique, the banners are sewn in bold shapes and bright colours. They hang in pairs along both sides of Victoria between 39th and 49th Avenues, providing decorative highlights against the backdrop of local businesses and shops.
