Join us for a special screening of Exit Through the Gift Shop, the Oscar-nominated documentary directed by the elusive street artist Banksy. This thought-provoking and often humorous film delves into the underground world of street art, blurring the lines between art and commerce, authenticity and spectacle.
Following the screening, stay for a dynamic panel discussion featuring local graffiti and street artists, including Sonoma County’s own Velvet Bandit. The panel will explore the evolution of street art, its impact on communities, and the fine line between rebellion and recognition.
