Purple Banners wave from the sides of the road to indicate an artist at work. The Map Guide is a chance for the public to discover galleries, private studios, heritage outlets and shops that offer original creations from local artists throughout the year.
The Purple Banner Studio & Gallery Guide printed brochure goes on the shelves annually in May. We print and broadly distribute 16,000 copies which are racked on BC Ferries and local Visitors Centre plus many other locations on and off coast.
Criteria to be in the Purple Banner Guide Regular Listings: ($150)
We want to meet our visitors’ expectations by setting a policy requiring that 70% of the product within the studio or gallery be created by local artists or artisans. A call ahead symbol on the listing is available for those not open regular hours.
