Local artists have their name in lights in downtown Kincardine.

Well, perhaps not in lights, but they are featured alongside the Lakeside banners that decorate the lamp stands along Queen Street in the downtown core, Harbour Street, Durham Market North, and in Queen's Lookout.

Kincardine artist Sharon Pike, whose work can be viewed at the Victoria Park Gallery, came up with the idea to showcase artists at the gallery on the banners. Each artist pays for a banner which is then posted on the lamp stand.

Pike said the group hopes to receive a Spruce the Bruce grant to help cover the cost.

The artists' banners, along with the Lakeside Downtown banners, will be taken down in late fall when the Christmas decorations are put up, and then returned in the spring.

If you want to view work in the Victoria Park Gallery during the renovation of the Kincardine Arts Centre, please use the back entrance, located on the east side of the building which opens onto Victoria Park.
