October Art Walk and Openings

All events listed occur on the first Friday of the month and are free and open to all visitors unless otherwise specified.

STICKER MOVIE:PORTLAND WORLD PREMIERE | CINEMAGIC THEATER

Sticker Movie is a celebration of sticker culture worldwide. Through street art, zines, shows, and photography, people of all ages and backgrounds form an international community. This self-regulated network of enthusiasts create, trade, collect, and display stickers outdoors for all to see. Sticker people are the heart of this subculture, and Sticker Movie is their legacy – a colorful patchwork of stories told by the slap taggers, sticker heads, artists, and collectors who shape this culture, guard it, and share it with the world. All shows followed a Q&A with the filmmakers!
