Banksy exhibit stays an extra month
Due to popular demand, Toronto’s The Art of Banksy exhibit is extended until Sunday, Aug. 19, and new tickets ($33-$35) went on sale on Monday at banksyexhibit.com.
“The Art of Banksy has been popular in each city where it has been exhibited. The Toronto run, a North American premiere, is already record breaking and is creating a new benchmark,” Starvox Exhibits president/CEO Corey Ross said Monday in a news release.
The touring exhibition, currently at 213 Sterling Rd., features 80 original works — the largest collection of the mysterious visual artist’s works ever exhibited — was slated to close in July but got extra attention last week when an item, Trolley Hunters, was stolen. The exhibition has been disavowed by the artist. Other upcoming concerts announced Monday:
