ArtJoy’s Giant Silk Flags are luminous, hand-dyed works of moving art designed for parades, festivals, ceremonies, performances, and community celebrations. Each flag is individually handmade by artist Toni Mikulka-Chang using sustainably sourced silk and professional, non-toxic dyes that are steam-set to create a glowing watercolor effect that comes alive in motion.

These flags are not mass-produced. Every piece is a one-of-a-kind functional artwork created to move beautifully through space and light.
