Explore the vibrant history and evolving cultural significance of San Francisco’s neon signs in this illustrated talk. Learn how neon has shaped the visual identity of San Francisco’s neighborhoods and commercial corridors. Vintage signs have evolved from advertising to beloved works of public art and symbols of local history. San Francisco Neon authors Al Barna and Randall Ann Homan share stories of craftsmanship, preservation and the enduring glow of neon.
This program takes place in the Steve Silver Music Center located on the 4/F of the Main Library.
