Unsigned Heroes: Sign Painters’ Art and Stories
September 16, 2014 |
Panelists include Faythe Levine and Sam Macon, authors of the book and co-directors of the documentary Sign Painters and Mark Oatis who is a founding member of The Letterheads, a trade organization dedicated to education and the dissemination of traditional sign methods, principles and techniques and featured in Sign Painters.
Vegas Vernacular co-founders Geoffrey Ellis and Bryan McCormick will serve as moderators. The Vegas Vernacular Project was created in 2012 to document hand-painted and lesser-known neon and illuminated signage located in and around Las Vegas.
The discussion will be held at the Neon Museum, 770 Las Vegas Boulevard, North. Doors open at 5:30 p.m. and the discussion, followed by a question-and-answer session, begins at 6 p.m. Immediately following the panel, Levin and Macon will sign copies of their book in the La Concha lobby.
Available seats will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Admission is $12 per person. Museum Members receive free admission to the program. There will be a cash bar serving wine, beer, soda and water.
