LISBOA PASTE-UP JAM
PAINTJAM
2026
Our Sticky Wall of Fame is a fact - inspired by our friend and member jojo_stickers and as a side-kick event of the yearly @urbancreativity_org Conference.
During the first weekend of July more than 10 hands at the wall, with names like Mar, PauloSar, Fled, LixSan, Bree, Moami, MafaldaMG, Out IAM, Mattia Ronconi, GColors… and JOJO_stickers and our team, pasting works by more than 30 (inter)national artists.
• A tribute of paper ánd glue
• A source of DIY inspiration
• A moment of creative get-together
• A visual chaos of print, photography, paint, illustration, design, collage, draw, mixed media... over more than 30 artists on one wall in town !
"From the punk movement's bold proclamations to contemporary guerrilla art projects, wheatpaste posters embody artistic freedom." Jake Yates, 2024
Let's admit it… Paper-and-glue resistance stretches back further than you'd think: from proclamations in Ancient Egypt, through mass communication in the early 19th century, to protest and visual storytelling in modern urban environments. And yes - brand guerrilla marketing has taken its share too.
The durability is definitely not guaranteed, but that doesn't make this art form any less impressive, or any less meaningful. Its defining trait is DIY. Water, flour, and a touch of sugar… you cook it, let it cool, and you've got yourself a sticky paste.
Spread across cities worldwide, wheatpaste lets artists get seen and recognized, turning our urban streets into vibrant, unrepeatable moments of creativity — visibility that's unique precisely because it doesn't last. Or as jojo_stickers likes to call it: a perfect "artists networking wall."
