Join us as we come together and celebrate the completion of this new, historically-informed sign that we hope will foster a sense of pride, identity, and belonging for the people of the Tenderloin. Let's gather on November 8th to witness the illumination of a new chapter in Tenderloin history-the 6pm sign lighting ceremony will feature special guest speakers and live music, plus look for a video projection outside the museum featuring "Lost Neon Landscapes" compiled by SF Neon from the Prelinger Archive. Don't miss this significant occasion!
This sign is the conceptual project of and a proud partnership between Katie Conry of the Tenderloin Museum and Randall Ann Homan of San Francisco Neon, an organization that educates and advocates for the artistic legacy of historic neon signs. TLM & SF Neon have co-presented scores of programs and walking tours that highlight the Tenderloin neighborhood as a mecca of neon signage in the city. This new Tenderloin/Cadillac sign proclaims our neighborhood's rich neon lineage by reinstituting a lost landmark while acknowledging the solidarity of the Tenderloin community today.
