Be it slapping, tagging, or bombing, sticker art is a growing graffiti genre. If you live in a city of a certain size, you’ve probably seen poles, utility boxes, and backs of street signs plastered with stickers. Some promote bands; others promote political causes; and some are simply funny doodles….An 18 July to 23 August 2015 exhibition at The Fridge in Washington, DC showcased over five hundred sticker artists from around the world.
