2025 Street Banner program explores Wheels in Motion

Residents 12 years and up are invited to showcase their talents through the Street Banner Program. Selected designs will receive a $600 design fee, a screened banner and the opportunity to be displayed throughout the region!

This year’s theme, Wheels in Motion, invites you to celebrate pathfinding and transportation. Explore speed, accessibility, ingenuity and capturing the visual language of movement in your creative work.

New this year: Artists from Anzac, Janvier, Conklin, Fort McKay and Fort Chipewyan will have a chance to display designs by local artists in their own communities!

All submissions will be showcased at the Kirschner Family Community Art Gallery at MacDonald Island Park.

Explore Infinite Patterns in the Jubilee Gallery

From March 13 to June 30, immerse yourself in the intricate, organic patterns of The Northern Crones, where nature’s fractal beauty - from swirling ocean foam to delicate leaf veins - unfolds to soothe and captivate in the Jubilee Gallery at 9909 Franklin Ave.

Inspired by studies showing the calming effects of natural patterns, each piece invites a quiet pause, offering a moment of meditative peace amid life’s complexities.

Infinite Patterns – a Collective Exploration of Art and Nature – is curated by The Northern Crones, a collective of local artists made up of Barbara Madden, Carmen Wells, Liana Wheeldon, Sharon Heading and Treasure Cooper.

Join the artists at the opening reception on Thursday, March 13 from 5 to 7 p.m.

Do you have an exhibition idea for the Jubilee Gallery?

Jubilee Gallery offers a dedicated exhibition space located on the main level of Jubilee Centre.

Aligning with the mandate of the Wood Buffalo Public Art Plan, this new gallery space aims to showcase quality works of art that strengthen community identity and sense of place. It offers a commission free career-launching opportunity for artists and curators to increase their expertise and sell their works.

Interested in exploring an idea for this space? Learn more and submit a proposal!
