CONTEMPORARY STICKER ART ON VIEW IN SLU'S GALLERY

CANTON - "The Gallery Has A Posse: Contemporary Sticker Art" will be on exhibition in the Richard F. Brush Art Gallery at St. Lawrence University from Wednesday, March 1, through Thursday, April 6.

The exhibition is organized by gallery Director Cathy Tedford, who says, "I've been debating whether or not stickers are the new Currier and Ives. Art for everybody: democratic, cheap, ephemeral, transient. Run them through a Xerox machine at Kinko's, or send a 300-dpi (dots-per-inch) .jpeg to The Sticker Guy. Paper or vinyl. Black-and-white or color."

She continues, "Members of the SLU sticker acquisition committee scour the streets of New York City, Berlin, Toronto, San Francisco and Moscow to find exquisite gems of creativity. The most coveted stickers are high out of reach, and our aluminum stepladder gets too heavy to lug around, so we stand on trash cans instead."

For more information or to arrange individual or group tours, contact the gallery at 315-229-5174.
