Roadside art: Love signs
Donation protected
Help us finance the cost of "Love" signs across California's roadside
**UPDATE: We just built three two-sided signs in Twentynine Palms, CA! You can see them at http://www.lovesign.net. However, we are still raising funds to cover the costs of these signs and more signs in the future.
The goal of this project is to showcase a positive message of love that transcends all borders.
We hope that people driving by will be captivated by this colorful roadside art and that it will spark a conversation.
Inspirations
We're inspired by the quirky kitschy art of America's highways. If you've ever had the opportunity to enjoy Route 66, you know what we mean!
Lots of roadside art has been lost over the years, like the delightful Burma Shave signs (pictured below).
And lots of roadside art remains, like one of our absolute favorite installations, Salvation Mountain.
We're inspired by Salvation Mountain because it is a work inspired by love, and done without a commercial interest. To this day, Salvation Mountain is free to the public.
Like Leonard Knight's Salvation Mountain, we want to create colorful roadside art that will inspire and captivate drivers with a message of love that transcends all borders.
Will you help us to raise money for materials? Would you like to help us make the signs? Any feedback? We'd love to hear from you!
