Founded and coordinated by Veronica Lundell, the Nye Beach Banner Project is a program of the Nye Beach Merchants Association. Each year it sees seasoned artists and first-time art makers alike donate their time and talents to create original works of art on canvas banners. The delightful, unique results are then displayed throughout the Nye Beach area in the summer and early fall. Afterward, the Project donates the banners to Oregon Coast Council for the Arts to be auctioned off, with the proceeds supporting youth arts programs.

The Association provides the banners for the artists, who donate their time and talents. They are encouraged to depict some element of Nye Beach — be it music, dance, acting, writing, art, architectural elements, natural elements — on one side; and on the other side, a quote that is thought-provoking or smile-inducing (or simply ‘Nye Beach’). Each year artists are also welcome to create their banner based on an additional, timely theme.
