The Dorchester Art Project has prepared a new show to kickstart 2019 by showcasing some of the best artists of the local graffiti scene. Priority Made is a collaborative art show related to the free Label 228 USPS Postal Sticker, used as a template and popularized through use by graffiti artists. The event will have graffiti stickers, art stickers and a timeline of the different blank versions of the 228 sticker, and will give the opportunity to viewers to participate in interactive sticker making and black-book sessions.
