This June, Placerville will see its downtown streetscapes decorated by colorful banners in a project that showcases the works of local artists.
Banners on Parade will be back for another year, and it will feature an assortment of pieces, with the major sponsor of the occasion being Images of Hope. It is organized by Placerville Art on Parade.
The banners are scheduled to be going up in early summer, and will be left up for the public to enjoy until autumn, when they will be sold during a silent auction that has been planned as part of the local Art and Wine Festival. For 2018, it will be the 14th year that area artists, businesses, individuals, organizations and government has come together in this collaborative effort.
To help the public get even more enjoyment from the event, brochures will be available at Main Street businesses. Note cards, postcards, bookmarks, magnets and posters that include images used on the banners will be offered for sale. Promotional products such as these can be produced by an area printer.
This local art event has been planned to run from June until October, and the auction of the pieces that were on display will take place on October 20. Anyone who would like to find out more about this community expression of its artistic side has been invited to visit the event’s website for additional details.
