The Centre Street Bridge's got some new bling. New banners are being installed throughout our Centre City. 
This year, Calgary-based artist sheilakernanartist has produced seven original canvas paintings highlighting Calgary’s urban culture. The paintings integrate architecture from across the city to create unique streetscapes and skylines. 
Her artwork, titled Our Calgary, celebrates the diversity and beauty of Calgary and its distinctive architecture. “I have always been endlessly fascinated by how our city transforms at night,” Kernan says. “There is an energy that emulates from flickering neon lights casting amazing patterns and reflections onto our majestic buildings.” The banners are being installed as part of the Centre City Banner Program, in partnership with Public Art. 
Banners are displayed on seven bridges leading into the core and on the Olympic Plaza pergola, acting as gateways to Calgary’s downtown and cultural district. 
An opening reception to celebrate Kernan’s work for this project is being held on Saturday, April 23 from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Gibson Fine Art gallery. 
Visit calgary.ca/centrecity for more information on the banner program and to view past and present artwork. The City is planning a celebration to mark the 100-year anniversary of the Centre Street Bridge this summer.
