The Fort Pierce Redevelopment Agency (FPRA) introduced the Youth Banner Art Showcase as part of the Pole Banner Program, an initiative aimed at strengthening community branding, enhancing visual appeal, and engaging local students in creative expression. The Showcase invited students in grades K–12 attending Fort Pierce schools to submit original artwork reflecting one of three approved themes: Fort Pierce Landmarks, Arts & Culture, or Nature/Scenic.

The program received 83 submissions. All artwork was reviewed by the CRA Advisory Committee during its October 2025 meeting and evaluated using established criteria, including thematic relevance, visual impact and readability, artistic quality, and overall execution.

The CRA Advisory Committee unanimously recommended producing and displaying all student submissions as pole banners throughout the Peacock Arts District. The FPRA Board approved this approach and authorized staff to move forward with implementing the Youth Banner Art Showcase.

This agenda item requests approval of Artwork License Agreements from each student, or their parent or legal guardian, granting the FPRA permission to reproduce and display the artwork. Upon approval, staff will finalize the agreements, produce the banners, and install them on streetlight poles within the Peacock Arts District.
