The Celebration of Sign is a celebration of Sign Language in the Arts. Joining us on stage in past years has been Grammy Award Winning Artists (who often Signed their songs for the audiences), and Deaf Community Performers such as Miss Deaf America, Miss Teen International, Kiko the Mime, and Terrylene. This event encourages Deaf and Hearing performers to use Sign in music, dance, drama, film, and storytelling, as well as perform using Deaf Cultural Artistic forms such as miming.

CelSign draws hundreds upon hundreds of members of the Deaf Community from as many as 9 states. If you want your organization/college/event to be seen by the Deaf, Hard of Hearing, or Hearing Members of the Deaf Community (Interpreters / Students, etc) this is a key place to advertise!

To request an advertising packet detailing booth rental and program advertising costs, email our Office Manager at kim@gatecommunications.org
