Description

Learn about Banksy from Kelsey Museum Docent and retired art teacher Kathy Gunderson.

Using stencils and the cover of darkness, Banksy's street art is the most recognizable in the world but "Banksy", the artist, remains an unknown despite nearly thirty years of speculation as to "his" identity. It is also often debated as to whether graffiti is art or vandalism but unauthorized images on property, public or private, is considered a crime in every state in the U.S.

Kathy uses visuals to guide the audience through the artists works, style, and significance in history.
