Sign o’ the times – it’s that time of the election season when campaign signs are sprouting up like crocus (or purple loosestrife, depending on your take. . . ), and now’s the time to call.
If you’re in the district, call campaign headquarters for a David Bly for House sign, (507) 664-0155, or drop a note through the contact link on this page. Leave your name, address and phone, we’ll confirm your call, and put your sign up. Free, no tax, license or dealer prep, is fully waranteed and guaranteed, and comes complete with “Care and Feeding of your David Bly sign” instructions! After the election, we’ll take it down! It’s that simple.
Here’s a sign made by a young supporter:
Scan in your kid’s Bly sign and send it in! And don’t forget about the Minneapolis Institute of Arts’ Art of Democracy: Tools of Persuasion exhibition in the Minnesota Artists Gallery from October 8 through November 28. Bring your political art, i.e., your kid’s David Bly sign, to the MIA at 2400 – 3rd Ave. So., Minneapolis, every Saturday, from noon to 2 p.m. from September 25th to November 20th. Pieces will be displayed weekly from the submissions.
From the MIA-s website
“Art of Democracy: Tools of Persuasion” is an open call for Minnesota artists to express their political opinions through original works of art in an exhibition coinciding with the 2004 presidential election.
The exhibition’s call-for-entries specifies formats for political ephemeral objects including lawn signs, posters, bumper stickers, T-shirts, flyers, magnets, pins, and infomercials. Artists are encouraged to submit one work of art weekly for the run of the exhibition, which will change as new work is installed. The concept was developed by the 2002-2003 Minnesota Artists Exhibition Program (MAEP) panel. For more information, call the MAEP office at (612) 870-3125.
