Our greatest accomplishment of 2017 was co-curating The Pre-Vinylette Society: An International Showcase of Women Sign Painters in Chicago, alongside Meredith Kasabian of Best Dressed Signs (Boston). The week-long event commenced in September, with over 30 women sign painters from 8 countries painting three murals on the facade of the Chicago Art Department gallery. The murals were designed by Tone Emblemsvåg (Oslo, Norway), Shelby Rodeffer of Finer Signs (Chicago), and Anna Frederick (Des Moines, Iowa). A huge opening night, a mimosa-fueled, two hour panel discussion the following afternoon, a group photo and the Pre-Vinylettes were an official coven.
