STICKER ART- BEAUTIFYING THE NEIGHBORHOOD

Sticker Art is a fun form of Guerrilla Art one can see around the city. Stickers are not permanent, but a fun way to share artwork multiple times throughout the city.  Stickers can be given away (everyone LOVES stickers) to people to use on various belongings. Therefore those people become walking galleries of sticker art.

Our Guerrilla students designed stickers to pass on the message of beauty. Our neighborhood (like most inner city places) has areas of blight; garbage strewn, weed filled abandoned buildings/lots. They strove to create a sticker design that fosters art and nature to combat the ugliness.

The stickers are being given to our local community group, Good Things Grow Midway. The group uses art and gardening to improve the neighborhood. GTGM will give away the stickers throughout the area.

Students are also responsible for giving away one sticker themselves, as a gift of free art.
Enjoy!
