Our latest creation, "Good Morning Sri Lanka" is the official poster for the 12th Galle Literary Festival, bringing Stick No Bills full circle back to our very beginnings in Galle Fort, where we first opened our doors back in 2011.
This vibrant design, the 53rd collaboration between The Archives Design Group and award-winning Danish artist Mads Berg, captures the spirit and beauty of this UNESCO World Heritage city and the magic of the Literary Festival, which draws people from all over the world for its enticing mix of literary greats, gastronomy and cultural activities. Mads Berg was in attendance at the Literary Festival, where he presented a sold-out workshop on the art behind the creation of the perfect piece of poster art.
"We are delighted Stick No Bills has become our official creative partner & fine art print supplier,” comments Festival Director Giselle Harding. “This collaboration is a unique opportunity to bring a breath of fresh air to the Galle Literary Festival brand as well as supporting exceptional artistry through a local business.”
Adds Meg Gage Williams, Founder & CEO of Stick No Bills: “In its cheerful glamorisation of the power and pleasure of the written word, the heroine in the foreground of ‘Good Morning Sri Lanka’ helps us dream of a storm-free future where we can all read more books.”
For us, this project is particularly poignant. From our humble beginnings in a small gallery on Church Street, we’ve grown to have locations in Galle Fort as well as a satellite gallery on Hiriketiya Beach as well as in Dubai, Barcelona, and Palma de Mallorca, with our Sri Lanka-centric collection quadrupling over these years. "Good Morning Sri Lanka" is a testament to this journey and a celebration of the place that inspired it all.
A net percentage of the profits from the sale of this poster artwork, like all of the Sri Lanka Collection, support the Galle Heritage Foundation and the Sri Lanka Wildlife Conservation Society.
