The St. Charles Arts Council will again host their Paint the Town in a Banner Way program in the summer of 2025. This is a community art project that will feature hand painted banners on exhibit in Mt. St. Mary Park from July 17 until September 28.

“Last year we distributed 100 blank vinyl banners that were painted by community members of all ages,” stated Kathryn Hill, Executive Director of the St. Charles Arts Council. “We partnered with the St. Charles Parks District and hung the painted banners on fencing by the skate park and tennis courts in Mt. St. Mary Park. The art exhibit was a huge success with the community and made a colorful display!”

There will be 150 blank banners available in 2025. The fee to purchase a banner is $25 for arts council members and $30 for non-members. The fee includes a blank banner and paint.

Registration to purchase a blank banner is available on the arts council website – www.stcharlesartscouncil.org.

Blank banners will be distributed beginning May 24 at the St. Charles Arts Council gallery which is located at 121 N. 2nd Street, Suite H in downtown St. Charles. Banners will also be available for pick up from June 4-7.
