Isn't This Graffiti?

Not necessarily, graffiti is a specific art form whereas guerrilla marketing covers advertising techniques to promote a product or brand. Guerrilla marketing can include graffiti as a method of attracting audiences via spray paint, stencils, and paint-sticks to create imagery or messaging. However, if you're creating messaging without the intention of permanent paint visibility then it's just marketing!

Seed Packets!

Expand your low-cost marketing ability by learning artistic marketing techniques and receive take-home materials via open community arts programing. Aimed to help you access arts material, learn new skills like how to create printing stamps and embellish your branding on packaging (Ex: seed packets using linocut printing stamps) to being able to use large or expensive tools you may not have at home.

​

Somos Los Urbs In Horto (@wearethecityinagarden) creates branded native seed packets with seeds collected from local green spaces (with permission from land stewards and collection support from neighborhood nature clubs) to disperse at community seed swaps across Chicago. With support and guidance from a local community arts program aimed to build new skill-sets and/or artistic experiences for its community - learned how to make a linocut rubber stamp with my logo design and take-home finished product to embellish packaging! â€‹Send us a DM on Instagram @wearethecityinagarden to let us know what seed swap we should stop by next!
