Featured Corporate Sponsors:


Starbucks – The Seattle-based coffee company has generously contributed to Universal Signs and Creative Access through their "Make Your Mark" program. The program matches their partners’ and customers’ volunteer hours with cash contributions to designated nonprofits. Creative Access provided ASL workshops to Starbucks employees at various local stores in Philadelphia, the suburbs, and New Jersey on August 18, 2005. Employees learned the signs for the entire Starbucks menu! Every hour of time donated by a Starbucks employee was matched with cash contributions to Creative Access for the production of Universal Signs.

Starbucks also generously donated coffee and merchandise for the cast and crew on set! Starbucks graciously allowed us to use their store located on 34th and Walnut Streets in Philadelphia, PA, for shooting the film. In that location, they also have an incredible display of some of the art featured in the film.


Qoro, LLC
– Under licenses, Qoro, LLC. publishes premiere collections of fine art from museums, private collections, and world class artists. Many of these selections are sold under the restricted Replica© Brand. Qoro, LLC. has replicated art for the world-renown Barnes Foundation; the work of Monet, Cezanne, and Wyeth have graced their studio. Qoro has generously donated all the reproductions of Sally Trace's artwork required for the film production of Universal Signs. They also regressed one of the images, Gone to Glory, in several stages to its original sketch, so that it will appear as if the actor is actually painting the image in the movie. In addition, Qoro, LLC made these beautiful and indistinguishable replicas available for purchase in several canvas sizes for fund raising for the movie. Please visit our on-line store to purchase these exclusive replicas.
