Museum of Neon Art Relocating to Glendale CA

When one thinks of a neon sign, what usually comes to mind is a splashy neon business sign used to attract attention. One often forgets that neon is an art form and a dying one at that. The Museum of Neon Art (MONA) is here to remind us of the spectular effects that can and have been achieved with neon glass art. MONA presents a bit of everything from classic restored neon signs to new age light shows. The museum is relocating to Glendale CA and a new building, where it will be the corner stone of the new Cultural Arts District. The museum is dedicated to keeping the art of neon alive and offers neon classes and well as neon tours in the LA area. You Glow MONA!

 

St. Patricks Day Tradition

It will soon be March 17th, also know as St. Patrick's Day to the Irish. Saint Patrick, who live during the first century is the patron saint of Ireland. Born in Roman Britian, he was kidnapped at the age of 16 and taken to Ireland as a slave. He later escaped, but returned to Ireland and is credited with bringing Christianity to it's people.

The symbolic shamrock has long been associated with St. Patrick. Legend has it that he compared the clovers leaves to the Holy Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Occassionally shamrocks are found with four leaves. These are rare and considered to be lucky for the finder.
In America, St. Patrick's day is celebrated with parades, shamrocks and all things Irish. From leprechauns to the color green and cabbage to the Blarney stone, you don't have to be Irish to celebrate this holiday. Slip on some green apparel and decorate your table with some green food and drinks. Hang green and orange balloons from the ceiling. Set out a four leaf clover neon sign to add some luck of the Irish. Play Irish Songs or put in a DVD of Riverdance. Decorate with posters and banners featuring pictures of Ireland. Soon you will have a new tradition to celebrate each year.

Installing an Outdoor Neon Sign

We now offer Outdoor Neon Signs with our standard sign designs, as well as custom neon signs.  Outdoor signs come in an aluminum outdoor casing to stand up to the harsh elements. The case also comes with a clear plastic cover to protect the glasswork. All of our Outdoor Signs have a U.L.2161 listed power supply to be hardwire. There are a couple of ways to install outdoor signs. You can hire an electrician which we recommend, or you can do it yourself. The benefits of installing your own outdoor sign is a reduction in cost. You'll also receive the satisfaction in doing it yourself.  However, some states such as Michigan require outdoor neon signs be install by a licensed Sign Specialist. Check with your local building department. They can inform you about the local regulations and direct you to the proper official to obtain a sign permit.
