TRYLON PREMIERES SIGN PAINTERS The Trylon Mon Jun 17 7:00 9:00 Tue Jun 18 7:00 9:00 Live appearance by filmmakers Faythe Levine & Sam Macon! (2013, HD, 75m) There was a time when storefronts, murals, banners, barn signs, billboards, and even street signs were all hand-lettered with brush and paint. But, like many skilled trades, the sign industry has been overrun by the techno-fueled promise of quicker and cheaper. Fortunately, there is a growing trend to seek out traditional sign painters and a renaissance in the trade. Promotional support provided by AIGA Minnesota.
