’Exit Through the Gift Shop’ to be shown at VAC
Come see the film, “Exit Through the Gift Shop”
by Banksy, the world’s most famous street artist,
and join a lively discussion about the street art
phenomenon. The film will be shown at the Volcano
Art Center Niaulani Campus on Thursday at 7 p.m.
In this film by the artist, ironic social critic and
famously anonymous British street icon, Bansky, we are
introduced to the underground world of street art and
to some of the young people whose talent and methods
have been noteworthy enough to earn the admiration
of their peers and to catch the attention of the art
world. The film was a 2010 Academy Award nominee for
Best Documentary Feature. A free-for-all discussion to
follow, plus a look at some examples of Bansky’s art.
This screening is part of a once-a-month Thursday
evening series at the Volcano Art Center, focusing
on art, Hawaiian culture and our environment. The
series is intended to inspire, enhance our art and life
experience and foster community connections.
The Volcano Art Center Niualani Campus is located
at 19-4074 Old Volcano Road in Volcano Village. This
presentation is free, however, donations are welcome.
