The American Sign Museum is dedicated to the art of American signage and celebrates its rich history through preservation and education. Many works within its collection of more than 4,000 objects depict Deco’s distinct style and chronicle the changes in technology that made way for this signature American design type. The Art Deco era propelled American machinery, technology and aesthetic excellence, all of which have a robust history in Detroit.
ZOOM Lecture, February 22, 2024, beginning at 6:00 P.M. EST.
Join the Museum’s Curator, Casey Goldman-Davis, to learn more about a select range of commercial advertising objects like signs and examples of design from the era, as well as Detroit’s own connections to neon and sign-making. This talk will also build an awareness about the Museum’s work to preserve these often-overlooked art forms.
