Our yellow directional signs and arrows help get folks to your studio location during the tour.

3 numbered signs and 3 plain arrows (shown, below left) are

automatically assigned to each numbered STUDIO LOCATION.

If that meets the needs of your studio location, do nothing.

The extra sign order email will be sent to tour artists near the end of August.

2026 deadline for extra sign orders is September 5.

See the 2026 Tour numbers below, for your convenience.

Please read the rest of the sign info below and

note all sign deadlines and pickup & return dates on your calendar.
