THE FERNIE BANNER PROJECT
Colourful banners by local artists line streets in Historic Downtown Fernie and along Hwy # 3 each year. New banners have been produced and updated annually since 2005.
OUT OF THE BOX DUMPSTERS Fernie’ s dumpsters have been works of art since 2014. See P7 for details of this year’ s Out of the Box Dumpster Painting Event at Station Square.

Around Fernie there’ s even more to discover including guerilla art by Aiden Lindsay, Liam Monaghan, and Milarkey behind The Royal and The Castle on First, and an entire house hand-painted by Troy Cook behind the Raging Elk Hostel.
A 60ft historical mural can be seen inside the TD Bank, and a variety of artisan glass windows both old and new, can be seen at several historical buildings. Watch for pop-up art displays and exhibits appearing in town as Fernie’ s artists explore new ways to share their work.
