The mysterious street artist Banksy is planning for a traveling exhibition starting this fall with an appearance in San Francisco. Staying true to the Banksy brand, there are limited details on the exhibition’s venue that will be revealed on a date closer to the opening.
Starvox Exhibits are organizing “The Art of Banksy” exhibit and the premiere is scheduled for November 22 at the soon-to-be-announced venue showcasing at least 80 pieces. With limited information for marketing the event, Starvox is relying on influencers to generate buzz for the touring exhibit.
This exhibit is already gaining more attention on social media with Facebook ads and the exhibit has already garnered more than 30,000 people for pre-registration with ticket sales starting on June 1. The exhibit has already displayed on Melbourne, Amsterdam, Tel Aviv, Toronto, London, and New Zealand with an estimated audience of 750,000 people worldwide.
The exhibit will feature pieces from the private collection excluding any of Banksy’s public mural or street art pieces. Banksy believes that his public murals serve the purpose as free art for all to enjoy and won’t authenticate any public pieces preventing the removal or sale of them.
The tickets are available starting at $39.99 for adults and $29.99 for kids with an opportunity to see on Banksy’s biggest exhibit to date.
