Poster boards designed by artists will be launched in a public celebration on Wednesday, July 8 at 12 noon in Old Market Square.
A Call to Artists was issued last summer for designs for the top portion of the boards. Thirty eight artists submitted 114 proposals and a jury selected the winning designs by Winnipeg artists Michael Carroll, Judith Panson and Laurie Green. The images range from a witty “on” light switch to a rousing crowd enjoying a stage event to a silhouette reflecting the historical buildings that the Exchange District is so well known for.This exciting new initiative is a collaboration between the Winnipeg Arts Council Public Art Program and the Exchange District BIZ.






Brian, is the Executive Director of the Exchange Biz and part of his job is to make the Exchange as attractive and welcoming as he possibly can. The Exchange district is a must for any tourist. You will be amazed by the architecture and intrigues of this area. There are lots of neat shops and eateries as well.
