“SLAPS!” at Vault Gallerie
Featured artist for Vault Gallerie Grand Opening in June 2019.
"SLAPS!" is a collection of USPS sticker art from artists around the nation. Often ubiquitous, “slaps” can be found all over major cities and are regularly seen as vandalism. For this exhibition, this art form moved from the streets to an intimate gallery setting to challenge the idea of what is and isn’t worthy of “high art” praise.
Show curated by Kawaii Suga in partnership with "I support the girls" collecting donation's of feminine hygiene products for homeless women and girls.
