Update: The giveaway is over, but you can buy a bumpersticker at the Walker Shop online for the low, low price of three bucks apiece. Get one…

Several years ago, we joked about making a t-shirt that read, “Conceptual Art: It’s the thought that counts.” Instead, when we set out to promote the exhibition Global Conceptualism, we ended up making bumperstickers with a similar punchline: “Think about honking if you [heart] conceptual art.” When I blogged about the stickers last year, we got a dozen comments and even more direct emails asking us to do another print run.

So: voilá!

With a design fine-tuned by Emmet Byrne, we recreated the stickers and will make them available for sale at the Walker Shop soon.

But the first 25 commenters here can get one mailed to you for free. Just leave a comment, using your real email address (it won’t be visible to the public). I’ll contact you to get your snailmail address.
