RUNNING WITH STICKERS

Join us for the opening of the exhibit 'Running with Stickers', coordinated and arranged by @adstreetart, Saturday 6/28!

Saturday, June 28th from 6 to 9 pm.
Free refreshments.

There will be a chance to make stickers and postcards while you are here to add to the exhibit so bring your friends and family (all ages)! 

Stickers and postcards have been collected from all over and will be presented in the gallery in an immersive installation!

Words from @adstreetart:

I put this show together with my own two hands and a lot of love for this community. It’s been an honor and a privilege to get to showcase all these stickers, pasteup posters, and postcard art pieces. Thank you to everyone who has generously given their work. All of you have become part of this Show and it wouldn’t be here without YOU. 

I’m a huge fan of street pics - be it a road sign or a dumpster that gets covered over in stickers, each piece put there by someone, every piece personal and meaningful, left behind for someone else to discover and add to, and to become part of this collage of humans that leave their mark on the world with stickers and tags. Props to the street “curators” and photographers who are out there representing others, installing combos, doing street smashes, and then capturing these moments in time through photos and sharing them with the rest of us. This is the vibe behind Running With Stickers. 

We are a community of circumstance - we are vandals, we are artists, we are punks and activists, we are hard and we are soft... and we are everything inbetween. Despite our differences, we are brought together in the spaces where our stickers overlap, and we become a community. This is the vibe that I wanted to bring to this Show. We as a community take a sticker, and we run with it... and these stickers become so much more to those of us who make, trade, collect, and leave them behind. 

We are mark-makers by nature and our stickers reveal the many ways in which we embrace, communicate, and explore our own humanity. We were here. We are here. That is the simple message built into every sticker and fundamental to the origin story of sticker culture. 

Thank you. 

I am @runningwithstickers / @adstreetart / and Slap N’ Go Zines, and I do this for the love of adhesive streetart.
