Last week a member of the street art/ sticker community and founder of “It’s yours take it” events lost everything thing he owns when his apartment caught fire. Everyone made it out ok, but he lost all of his artwork, his art supplies and all of the stickers he’s collected over the years. I talked to him a couple days ago and he seemed in really good spirits, but I could tell he was bummed about losing everything. If you have any extra stickers, artwork or art supplies I know it would make him really happy to get them.

Stick On Haring! wants to render homage to the artist Keith Haring in memory of the 20th anniversary of his death.
Keith Haring was an American painter and writer. Haring’s work represents the street culture of 80’s in New York. Keith Haring died of AIDS on February 16, 1990. He was 31 year old. Although the premature death, Haring’s imagery has become a widely recognized visual language of the 20th century.
In occasion of the Festival Multiarte liberARTI June 26, 2010 in Montaione (Florence – Italy) will be exposed some shapes that reproduce the famous Haring’s colourful figures. The people who are going to be join this event will be able to have a chance of participating actively, they will be able covering from live the Haring’s models with stickers which are coming from the artists all over the world. The shapes transformed from the people in 3D combo sticker, are not only a homage to Keith Haring, but want to represent also the path that the street art has undertaken from 80’s years eighty until our days.
Successively the combo-shapes that will be produced during the event Stick On Haring! will be cart around and photographed in places symbol of Haring in Italy (like in front of the graffito Tuttomondo in Pisa) or in other events and exhibitions in memory of Haring. In fact Stick On Haring! will not be the single event that the Italian alternative art will dedicate to the New Yorker artist, but other initiatives will be realized and will be concluded ideally with the next exhibition of “Stick My World” on September 12, 2010 in Rome (Italy).
The Greenaid dispensary simply makes these guerrilla gardening efforts more accessible to all by appropriating the existing distribution system of the quarter-operated gumball machine. With a simple edict, “Change for Change”, the Greenaid initiative encourages urban dwellers of any age to become casual activists by taking part in the incremental beautification of their environment using only the loose coins in their pocket.
