Look: Thousands of sticker enthusiasts arrive at Sticker Con MNL’s comeback convention

MANILA, PHILIPPINES — Over 350 exhibitors and thousands of art and sticker enthusiasts filled the two-day local art convention Sticker Con MNL 2022 held at Whitespace Manila last October 15 and 16.

After a year-long hiatus due to the Covid-19 pandemic, the locally beloved art convention organized by Fandom Feels PH featured a diverse roster of local artists—a colorful mix of newbies and renowned Filipino artists—showcasing their unique works to sticker collectors, journal junkies, and crafters alike.

As the doors opened, people flocked to various booths to purchase and collect all sorts of merchandise—including stickers, prints, pins, and even zines and tote bags. Exhibitors creatively decorated their booths not only to attract customers but also to show their brand and craft to the local art scene.

One attendee shared: “I’ve been waiting for Sticker Con to happen again since the pandemic and I can say that it was really worth the wait. Seeing artists come together in one place to celebrate what they collectively love to do gives me great energy.”

The event was well-received both offline and online, with its hashtag #StickerConMNL making it to Twitter’s top Philippine trends. Visitors shared photos of their sticker hauls, while artists shared photos of their booths and appreciation messages post-event.

An exhibitor shared: “Finding people who share the same passion is always comforting; and to experience being part of that community from an exhibitor’s perspective is very endearing. I love the constant high energy, meeting co-fans, and sharing the whole experience with your tablemates has been so fun. I’ve always loved collecting stickers, and I love to encourage other people to grow their own collections as a first-time exhibitor through Sticker Con MNL. It is truly a memorable and heartwarming experience. Core memory indeed!”
