.

The banners are being installed now.

Under the watchful eye of artist and art educator Monique Martin, students at Georges Vanier Catholic School created more than 100 vivid banners that will go up around the new Remai Modern Art Gallery of Saskatchewan construction site.

The gallery will be home to hundreds of Picasso linocuts.

The banners, however, will also fly in Riversdale, downtown, and in the Broadway District.
