The Story
An international exhibition featuring the work of British street artist Banksy is scheduled to open in Vancouver on February 20, 2025.
THE ART OF BANKSY WITHOUT LIMITS will be presented at 1 Alexander Street in Gastown. Tickets start at $23 and are available online.
The exhibition is described as featuring 200 pieces, including over 50 certified originals, plus prints, photographs, lithographs, sculptures, murals, and exclusive video mapping installations. It also includes a Western Canadian premiere of a hologram installation.
Organizers say the show includes reproduced pieces using Banksy’s signature stencil technique, along with a mural installation created by a creative team designed to bring street-art elements indoors. A video documentary is also part of the exhibition.
The event highlights installations from Banksy’s 2015 “Dismaland” pop-up bemusement park, prints of works including “Flower Thrower” and “Kissing Coppers,” and the sculpture “Phone Booth.” The exhibition also includes a section related to Banksy’s activism connected to immigration and an “infinity room” addressing political themes.
Exhibition producer Sorina Burlacu said in the provided release that Banksy’s work is meant to provoke and unsettle society, and that sincerity, empathy and compassion are more crucial than ever.
A room dedicated to Ukraine is included as part of the exhibition, featuring Banksy interventions in areas affected by conflict with Russia, and visitors can make donations to support Ukraine.
The release also says attendees can spray-paint their own T-shirts with a $2 donation to the M.V. Louise Michel organization, and that entry times are scheduled every 30 minutes.
Hours of operation are listed as Monday to Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m., Saturday from 10:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and Sunday from 10:00 a.m. to 7:30 p.m.
