NYCxDESIGN Festival ~ New York Sign Museum Tour

As the 2026 NYCxDESIGN Festival brings thousands of designers and creative professionals to New York City, AIGA NY has teamed up with Noble Signs and the New York Sign Museum for a special behind-the-scenes tour of this working sign studio and historic collection.

Join AIGA NY for an intimate look into the craft, history, and daily operations of a traditional sign-making workshop, where rescued storefront signage and contemporary fabrication exist side by side.

Participants will explore the museum’s growing collection alongside Noble Signs’ active production floor, offering a rare opportunity to see how signage is preserved, restored, and created in real time.
Ticket proceeds go to support New York Sign Museum and AIGA New York.
About NYSM: The New York Sign Museum was established in 2019 with the intention to preserve the unique history of signage and businesses in New York City. The New York Sign Museum is a 501(c)(3) public charity. Visitors to the collection will experience the rich history of individual expression and personal character that handmade signage embodies, as seen through the lens of the American experience including small business ownership and neighborhood-based urban living.
