An offshoot of the Pre-Vinylite Society, the Pre-Vinylettes are a group of women, trans, and nonbinary sign painters and lettering artists who celebrate diversity in this historically male dominated trade. The movement began with a collaboration between Meredith Kasabian and Shelby Rodeffer to curate The Pre-Vinylette Society: An International Showcase of Women Sign Painters, an exhibition of more than sixty international artists at the Chicago Art Department in September 2017, and has continued to grow in recent years.
