YOU ARE BEAUTIFUL is the little sticker that started a worldwide phenomenon. This message, spread by the art and design community, has touched lives on every continent in the world (including Antarctica). It began simply with 100 stickers printed in 2002 in Chicago, and has since evolved into block-long murals, public installations and exhibitions at cultural institutions involving thousands of artists. “You Are Beautiful” has been translated into over 30 languages, with over a million stickers circulating around the globe. What happens with the next million is up to you. Grab a handful of stickers, and share this message with your world.
