sweetriot Tin Art
sweetriot supports the emerging artists community by featuring works that embrace sweetriot's culture on its tins. Every few months we ask rioters to Rock the Art Vote and help pick the featured artist for upcoming tins. If you'd like a reminder to come back and vote once the poll goes live, sign up for our newsletter.
