About this Event
Characters Welcome 9: An International Sticker Art Show is THE event for sticker artists to meet, exchange ideas & leave behind tokens of their amazing art on our walls, ceilings, floors, etc! Now in its ninth year, this weekend-long show highlights thousands of sticker artists from around the world with many first time artists shown side by side with the seasoned titans. This year’s event programming includes artist workshops, an all-ages sticker scavenger hunt, a free intro to sticker art class, and more, with all show proceeds donated to local youth arts programming.
Celebrating the street art community, Characters Welcome is a room-filling installation of sticker art that occupies the entire upstairs front room of Tattooed Mom! Collaged boards will be available for purchase along with Philadelphia sticker packs curated by local sticker artists, mystery sticker packs, and limited edition tees. All proceeds from Characters Welcome 9 will be donated to youth arts programming at The Village of Arts & Humanities and Fleisher Art Memorial.
