AES: SIGNAGE INSTALLATION | Hunter Museum of American Art, Chattanooga TN.

PictureSetting up to weld signage frame together
Following the outbreak of summer, business's all around downtown Chattanooga begin to bustle with activities, and the Hunter Museum of American Art is no exception. Soon to arrive, the Hunter will boast of their Monet Exhibit which opens to the public this June (you can read more about it here). And, while this exhibit expects to draw in both art enthusiasts and Chattanoogan's alike, be it through word-of-mouth or social media, one article-of-advertisement appears to be lacking outside both the front and riverside of the Hunter --- a large informational sign.

AES Custom Welding is proud to announce their role in the manufacturing of said signage support while Bill Reason, owner of Certified Lighting & Signs, sets up to supply both material and graphics.  After a handful of meetings with the board and those overseeing the operation, AES will launch in to progress after the Hunter's approval.


"This exhibition will give visitors the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to explore Monet's work alongside that of many of the most notable American artists of all time. We will explore the influences of French Impressionism and see how it was translated from a uniquely American perspective," -  Nandini Makrandi, Chief Curator at the Hunter Museum (script copied via Hunter website, n.d., para. 2).

Key word, "Once-in-a-lifetime". We encourage you to stop by the Hunter and witness these incredible paintings. Drop in on your own time or schedule a date with your family and friends!

His excitement for firing up the 611 resonates as loud as train enthusiasts Beverly T. Fitzpatrick, Jr., executive director of the Virginia Museum of Transportation. His focus will be to weld in a flu sheet, a vital part of this historic train.

"If you want serious welding done right Steve is the one to call" writes Cheri George, former volunteer fireman for the 611 and participant of its excursion runs. "Steve has done lots of work for our friends at TVRM and comes highly recommened. Note the "ears" at the top of the picture used to hold or move the sheet as needed."

About the N&W Class J 611 Steam Locomotive 

"The Norfolk & Western Class J 611 Steam Locomotive is the one of the finest American passenger steam locomotive ever built. She is a marriage of beauty and power.  Simple lines, a bullet nose, a midnight black façade, a Tuscan stripe and a baritone whistle makes her the one of the most distinguished steam locomotive left in the world...
