Stories of Us Exhibit Graphics at the Royal Alberta Museum | Arttec Signs

, , , ,

Arttec Signs is proud to have completed work on a major new exhibition at the Royal Alberta Museum. Stories of Us: Building Alberta’s Collection explores how Alberta’s history is gathered, interpreted, and shared, inviting visitors to reflect not just on artifacts, but on the stories and choices behind them.

This thoughtfully designed exhibition challenges visitors to consider what is collected, what is overlooked, and why those decisions matter. Through a mix of large-scale wall murals, interpretive graphics, and carefully integrated visual elements, the gallery encourages curiosity and reflection while guiding visitors through the space in a clear, cohesive way.

Arttec supported the exhibition with custom environmental graphics that complement the museum’s curatorial vision. From bold yet restrained wall graphics to clean, readable interpretive panels, every element was designed to enhance storytelling without distracting from the artifacts themselves. The result is a modern, visually engaging environment that supports the exhibition’s themes while maintaining a timeless museum aesthetic.

Projects like Stories of Us highlight the collaborative nature of museum exhibitions. From curators and designers to fabricators and installers, every detail matters. Our team worked closely with the Royal Alberta Museum to ensure precision, durability, and visual clarity, meeting the high standards required for a permanent public institution while respecting the sensitivity of the subject matter.

We’re honoured to see this work featured beyond the museum walls as well. The exhibition, and the process behind it, was recently highlighted in a feature by CBC News, offering a behind-the-scenes look at how Alberta’s stories are thoughtfully collected and presented for future generations.

If you’re curious to learn more about the exhibit and the ideas behind it, we encourage you to watch the CBC News video feature and experience Stories of Us: Building Alberta’s Collection through the lens of those who helped bring it to life.

Ukrainian Multicook Edmonton Food Store

Authentic Flavours at Ukrainian Multicook Edmonton Meet Fresh New Storefront Signage

,

A Fresh Look for Multicook Edmonton’s Handmade Ukrainian Foods

When Volodymyr Kostyuchenko and his family arrived in Edmonton after leaving their home in Western Ukraine, one thing stood out right away, nothing they tasted truly captured the flavours of the food they grew up with. The warm, homemade dishes… the traditional recipes… the comfort meals made from scratch.

So they decided to bring that missing piece of home here.

Where Tradition Meets Canada’s Best Ingredients

Located in Edmonton’s West End, Multicook Edmonton specializes in handmade frozen meals, prepared on-site using traditional Ukrainian recipes, but made with fresh Canadian ingredients and Alberta-raised meats.

From perogies to cabbage rolls, to hearty soups just like back home, every dish is crafted with care, authenticity, and family pride. This isn’t mass production. This is real food made by real people, sharing their culture through every bite.

A Storefront That Needed to Tell Their Story

Multicook connected with our team at Arttec Signs, and they knew exactly what they wanted:
A storefront that felt welcoming, authentic, and unmistakably Ukrainian.

We made sure their customers could instantly understand what Multicook Edmonton offers, handmade frozen meals, crafted with tradition, available right in the neighbourhood.

And that’s where our design and production team stepped in.

Window Graphics Built to Inspire Hunger

To bring their identity to life, Arttec Signs installed a combination of:

  • Full-colour window vinyl
  • Cut vinyl graphics featuring food illustrations
  • Bold branding such as “HANDMADE FROZEN FOOD,” “THE BEST OF UKRAINIAN CUISINE,” and product-specific visuals like perogies, cabbage rolls, and soups
  • A clean, professional layout that makes the storefront stand out in a busy retail strip

Ukrainian Multicook Edmonton Food Store

These graphics don’t just make the shop look great, they work. Clear, high-visibility signage helps customers immediately recognize what Multicook offers and encourages foot traffic.

And yes, just like our popular vinyl wraps in Alberta, these window graphics are weather-resistant, durable, and built for long-term visibility.

Showcasing Culture, Community, and Craft

What makes this project special is the heart behind it. Multicook Edmonton isn’t just another frozen food store, it’s a family rebuilding their life, sharing the flavours of home, and creating something new for the Edmonton community.

Our job was to design signage that honours that story.
And we’re proud of how it turned out.

Need Window Graphics That Tell Your Story?

Whether you’re launching a new business, refreshing your brand, or showcasing your products with high-quality window vinyl, Arttec Signs can help bring your vision to life.

Elevator Wall Graphics | Majestic Place West | Leduc

Transforming a Drab Elevator into a Scenic Escape with Panoramic Wall Graphics

Elevator rides are often mundane, but what if they could feel like a journey through nature? That’s exactly what we achieved in one of our most rewarding projects—transforming an ordinary elevator into an extraordinary experience.

Using panoramic elevator wall graphics, we wrapped the interior walls of the elevator with a breathtaking view of Emerald Lake, one of Alberta’s most iconic and picturesque destinations. This stunning visual creates an immersive 3D effect, making residents feel as though they’re surrounded by nature on every ride. Beyond its beauty, the graphic adds a sense of warmth and charm to the newly renovated building, making it feel even more welcoming.

This elevator wall graphics project came together seamlessly thanks to careful planning and our commitment to quality. From selecting the perfect image to ensuring flawless installation, every detail was handled with care to create a lasting impact.

At Arttec Signs, we believe design has the power to transform spaces and enhance everyday experiences. We’re proud to have brought this vision to life and look forward to creating more spaces that inspire and delight.

Vibrant Wall Graphics at Indigenous Student Centre | Concordia University | Edmonton

Transforming Spaces with Indigenous-Inspired Wall Graphics

We recently had the opportunity to design and produce vibrant wall graphics for the  Indigenous Student Centre.

Home Away from Home

The Indigenous Knowledge and Research Centre (IKRC) was established in 2018 to provide Indigenous students with a home away from home where they may interact, share, look for assistance, and give back to the community.

Indigenous Student Centre Project Details

This project came together quickly, but we ensured the quality and impact were top-notch. The graphics add a warm and welcoming touch to the Indigenous Student Centre at Concordia University, enhancing its role as a supportive space for Indigenous students.

The Concordia Indigenous Student Centre provides educational and spiritual support, organizes community events, and helps students with scholarships and bursaries.

We wanted our designs to reflect the diversity of Indigenous cultures, making the space feel inspiring and culturally resonant.

The feedback has been fantastic, and we’re proud to have contributed to a space that supports students’ well-being.

At Arttec Signs, we know that thoughtful design can transform spaces, and we’re thrilled with how this project turned out.

Window to the Future: Upcoming Trends in Window Signage and Graphics for 2024

,

In the fast-evolving landscape of visual communication, window signage stands as a beacon of innovation. As we step into 2024, we here art Arttec Signs are noticing that businesses starting to embrace the pivotal role played by window graphics in shaping their brand’s identity and enhancing the local visibility of their business. Let’s dive into the upcoming trends that are set to redefine the window signage experience.

Materials Revolution

Advanced Materials: Beyond the Basics

At Arttec, we love experimenting and working on creative projects. The future of window graphics is intricately tied to the materials we use. Advanced polymers, nano-coatings, and other cutting-edge materials are taking center stage. These materials not only elevate the aesthetics of window signage but also contribute to increased durability and environmental sustainability. Embracing these materials ensures that your business doesn’t just communicate visually but also makes a statement about responsible practices.

Sustainable Choices for Modern Businesses

In an era where eco-consciousness is paramount, businesses are opting for sustainable materials in their window graphics. From recyclable polymers to energy-efficient coatings, these choices not only align with the brand’s values but also resonate with environmentally conscious consumers. We explore the impact of such choices on both design possibilities and consumer perception.

Impact of Material Innovation on Aesthetics and Durability

The marriage of innovation and aesthetics is a defining characteristic of 2024’s window graphics. We uncover how these advanced materials open new doors for designers, allowing them to create intricate patterns and textures that were once deemed impossible. Simultaneously, the durability factor ensures that the visual appeal is sustained over time, making it a worthwhile investment for businesses looking for a long-lasting visual impact.

The Problem with Winter: Difficulties in Installing Window Graphics

While the allure of window graphics remains undeniable, the winter season, especially here in western Canada, introduces a set of challenges for businesses aiming to enhance their visual presence. Low temperatures, frosty surfaces, and unpredictable weather conditions can throw hurdles in our installation process of window graphics.

Advancements in Cold-Weather Installation Products

In the quest to overcome winter installation challenges, the industry has witnessed remarkable advancements in materials and products designed specifically for cold weather. Our vendors have developed innovative product solutions that address issues like adhesion difficulties, material brittleness, and the overall impact of sub-zero temperatures on the installation process.

Offering Solutions: Installing Window Graphics in Extreme Conditions

As leaders in this industry, the team at Arttec recognizes the importance of providing solutions that go beyond the standard installation parameters. Our commitment to excellence extends to all seasons, including winter. We proudly offer products engineered to withstand temperatures as low as -15 degrees Celsius, ensuring that your window graphics not only survive but thrive in even the harshest winter conditions. Contact us today to find out if these can work for your business.

 

Local Visibility and Brand Presence

Harnessing the Power of Localized Marketing

In an era where personalization is key, localized marketing through window graphics provides a direct connection with the community. We discuss strategies to harness the power of localized messaging, making businesses more relatable and relevant to their immediate surroundings.

Strengthening Brand Identity through Window Signage

Window signage is not just a visual display; it’s a powerful tool for brand storytelling. We explore how businesses can use their window graphics to reinforce brand identity, narrating a compelling story that resonates with their target audience.

Real-Life Success Stories of Businesses Amplified by Window Graphics

To illustrate the real impact of window graphics, we showcase success stories of businesses that have strategically leveraged this medium. From small local shops to international brands, these examples serve as inspiration for businesses contemplating the integration of window signage into their marketing arsenal.

 

2024 is quickly approaching! The window to the future is adorned with innovative materials, tech-powered designs, interactive elements, and a keen focus on local visibility and brand presence. At Arttec Signs we believe that window graphics are not just a visual tool; they are a dynamic and integral part of the evolving narrative of businesses seeking to leave an indelible mark on their audience.
