Do you know who Banksy is? I don’t; few people do. But I know that he is creative, thoughtful, funny, and very knowledgeable about art. In fact, one art historian says “Banksy saved art history.” Banksy has strong beliefs about the role of art as well as many current political issues. In 2010, Time magazine selected him as one of the world’s 100 most influential people. His works sell for hundreds of thousands of dollars. He currently has a piece at the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum. Whether you like his work or think he’s a menace, he will give you something to talk about. So join us for a conversation.
Note: Since this was a last minute substitution, Bonnie will do an introduction to Banksy and his work, but most of the time will be in conversation! No homework is required, but if you want a little background here’s an article: https://www.smithsonianmag.com/arts-culture/the-story-behind-banksy-4310304/
What: A Conversation about the Art of Banksy
When: Tuesday, November 9, 1 pm for the conversation; noon for lunch
Where: Eiteljorg Museum, 500 W. Washington St., Indianapolis
Café for lunch; Education room for the conversation
RSVP: Bonnie Pribush
