The American Sign Museum expanded its innovative CoSign initiative that pairs artists, small businesses, and sign fabricators to design and install a critical mass of unique handcrafted signage in neighborhood business districts.  CoSign refined its process and materials and completed two additional implementations resulting in an additional 20 signs devised, built and installed in the Greater Cincinnati Area.  A toolkit is being created to help expand the project to both local and national communities.
