Time of the Signs 05/14/2009 | 6:00 PM -

Upcoming opening, Time of the Signs, a solo show of Rhode Island artist Nate Nadeau's sculpture, at 28 Wolcott St. on May 14th. Time of the Signs will feature Nadeau's original hand-fabricated metal sculpture inspired by, and riffing on, retro American roadside signs. Each wall-mounted sign blends Nadeau's text-based interest in graffitti writing and pop culture stylings with the craftsmanship honed through years of his work as a metal fabricator and teacher. The show is from 6-10pm and is free and open to the public.
