The Art of the Sign Sketch 1925–1975
On View March 12 – June 11, 2026
Join us for the Exhibition Opening Celebration

Come celebrate the opening of our newest exhibition, featuring rare sign sketches from 1925–1975 gathered from across the country. Typically headed for the trash after their usefulness has ended, sign sketches could be viewed simply as renderings for how a sign will look and function in its environment. That practical view does not do justice to the artistry and detail that signmakers put into these sketches. This exhibition will take you back to the drawing board when considering what qualifies as art through an exploration of sketches spanning 50 years.
