Artists have completed this year’s banners.
You can now view the 2023 banner gallery.
Once again, the Yachats Banner Project is coming together, managed by Michael Guerriero with sponsorship and assistance from Polly Plumb Productions. Yachats area artists have been decorating the eighteen Highway 101 street light poles with banners annually for six consecutive years. Due to design changes, canvas banners are now about 18 x 48” with a rounded bottom. Designs are applied with acrylic paints by 34 volunteer artists. The theme “Always a Long Story in Yachats”, is offered as a stimulus for design. “Yachats” will be screen printed on the back of the banner. To view banner designs from previous years, go to the Polly Plumb Productions website at pollyplumb.org. Volunteering artists are limited to those who live within about 15 miles of Yachats.
The banners will be up for the summer, July 1 through September 5, at which time Polly Plumb Productions will hold a fundraiser and sale of the banners to support arts programming and to fund the project for next year. With the new design, the banners will be anchored on the bottom of a bar bracket to limit wind damage.
Volunteering artists are limited to those who live within about 15 miles of Yachats. To sign up for a banner or for more information, reply to Michael Guerriero, mguerro@peak.org, or call 541 547-5024.
A meeting will be held on March 3rd at 1 PM in the Yachats Commons picnic shelter for signing up and distributing the banners.
