New banners by Michelle Ku for the Centre City Banner Program
Update as of June 11: Good news! After a brief delay, all banners are now installed.
Michelle Ku is the latest artist featured in the Centre City Banner Program — a public art initiative that transforms Calgary’s downtown gateways with vibrant, original artworks. The new banners are being installed this week and will remain in place for approximately one year.
Michelle’s banner series draws from vivid childhood memories and daydreams, blending playful characters with bold colours to evoke a sense of wonder and nostalgia. Installed on bridges leading into the city’s core, her work welcomes Calgarians with warmth, whimsy and imagination.
Based in Calgary, Michelle is a visual artist, muralist and filmmaker whose work explores the mind-body-spirit connection through painting and animation.
