NEW DEADLINE - September 15!
Sticker Design Contest based on three themes by Shepard Fairey
The top three winners will get their designs printed in vinyl by STICKER ROBOT!
DEADLINE: send to brushgallery@stlawu.edu by Thursday, September 15, at noon.
Presented in conjunction with SLU Art Gallery exhibition Inspiring | Controversial | Obey! Silkscreen prints and stickers by Shepard Fairey on display from August 10 to September 3, 2022.
INSPIRING | CONTROVERSIAL | OBEY! presents work by one of the most well-known contemporary American street artists, Shepard Fairey. Drawn from St. Lawrence University’s permanent collection and private collections, the exhibition showcases work from over thirty years of the artist’s prolific career: from Fairey’s Andre the Giant Has A Posse sticker first produced as a college student in 1989, to silkscreen prints from the 1990s and 2000s, to the iconic 2008 Barack Obama HOPE portrait, as well as We The People stickers created in response to the 2016 U.S. presidential campaign and Earth Crisis stickers today. While Fairey’s earlier images focused on punk musicians, skateboard heroes, and Obey Giant themes, his more recent subjects include social justice activists, immigration reform, gender equality, consumer capitalism, and climate change.
