It’s no mystery: Banksy is the most secretive street artist in the world. While many know of his pieces, very few are aware of the face behind the art. Of course, that’s what makes his oeuvre so impactful: from Girl with the Red Balloon to Kissing Coppers, his anonymity makes a statement — one that prioritizes the message over the artist. This winter, you’ll get to see some of Banksy’s pieces first-hand at The Art of Banksy Without Limits.
After stopping in Montreal, Vancouver, Edmonton and now San Diego, The Art of Banksy will plunge you into the artist’s pulse-racing universe —bringing hundreds of his artworks to the forefront.

A unique Banksy exhibit in San Diego
San Diego’s new Banksy exhibit is a never-before-look at some of the artist’s pieces over various mediums. Using a special stencil technique that emulates Banksy’s own works, Art of Banksy displays multimedia print, photos, sculptures, murals, art installations and more come January.
Presented museum-style, these works of art will grant you a closer look at some of the themes Banksy tackles: political conflict, police brutality, climate change, social justice… So many of his pieces go deeper than what’s on the surface, challenging the way you perceive art.
A multisensory journey through the artist’s pieces
Most of your time at Art of Banksy will be spent staring in awe at his artwork, but there is a portion of your adventure that will stimulate all senses. Interactive installations like the legendary Dismaland Park are fueled with some of the latest technology to keep you totally immersed.
The exhibition also makes for the perfect opportunity to learn about Banksy’s art hands-on, thanks to the spray painting activity included in premium tickets. A stencil featuring Banksy’s iconic designs will guide you through spray painting your very own t-shirt! Proceeds will go to support the Louise Michel rescue ship, a cause very close to Banksy’s heart.
