Port St. Joe Downtown Banner Series

The banner series is the result of collaboration between three local agencies: the PSJRA, Gulf Alliance for Local Arts (GALA) and the Tourist Development Council (TDC). GALA continues to provided a rich resource of local artists from whom to chose, who to date have graciously provided original work at an affordable rate, with rights to reproduction. The TDC provides additional funding for banners and for collateral material.
 
Every year, the Florida Redevelopment Association (FRA) recognizes the best in redevelopment in the State of Florida in ten categories. This year, the FRA has chosen the Port St. Joe Redevelopment Agency’s “Historic Banner” series to receive the “Cultural Enhancement” award. This is a state-wide program, and we are thrilled to be in the company of major Florida cities who enter this yearly competition.  PSJ will also be featured in the FRA’s “Best Book” publication, with photos and description of the banners.
