If you have walked along the streets in Chattanooga’s downtown, you have probably noticed the banners that hang from various street poles displaying the different city districts.

As part of River City Co.'s Downtown District Banner Program, the banners are meant to beautify and promote the area as well as highlight its revitalization and progress.

Now, the company is seeking a request for qualifications from local artists or designers to be a part of redesigning the banners.

Additional support

River City Co. is also seeking community support through donations for the replacement of the banners + will match dollar for dollar (up to $20,000) toward donations for the program.
