White Rock: Banners serve as tribute to local artist

It’s a symbol of generosity; a ‘gift’ that keeps on giving.

Banners commissioned by the White Rock BIA – installed this week on city light standards just in time to be seen by thousands enjoying Spirit of the Sea festivities – feature an image from a painting by Italian-born local artist Santo De Vita, who worked out of the Oxford Street Studios.

BIA executive director Cyndie Richards said the new banners not only promote White Rock – they serve as a legacy to the city from the artist, who died in January of this year at the age of 63.
