You are Beautiful

You Are Beautiful is more than a little sticker, it’s an idea. It’s a way to brighten someone’s day, a way to pat a stranger on the back, a way to remind ourselves that even when things aren’t going great, it’s ok.

It began simply with 100 stickers in 2002 in Chicago, and has since evolved into block-long murals, public installations, and exhibitions at cultural institutions involving thousands of artists. Check out photos that have been tagged #yabsticker.

The community has rallied around the message, and people from around the world have started adding their flair, their interpretation, and their voice to the message. This message has grown by word of mouth, and has been spread by you, the community. 

Location: 150 S. Cottage Hill Ave., in Elmhurst. Southeast side of Art Museum.
