West Chester, May 29, 2018: Elmark Sign & Graphics proudly supports the West Chester Public Art Commission’s “Lamp Post Banner Project,” commemorating the Borough’s recent “Great American Main Street Award.”

Elmark will donate, install, and maintain the High Street banners, which will each include original works of art chosen by the Art Commission.   The eighteen artists, whose work will be featured along the center of West Chester, were selected among the hundreds of submissions received by the Commission’s regional “Call for Artists” campaign.
