# Event Details

- **Event Name**: The Art of Banksy
- **Event Start and End Date**: Fri, 04 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm – Wed, 09 Sep, 2026 at 01:00 pm (-04:00)
- **Event Description**: Featuring more than 160 original works, The Art of Banksy is the world’s largest authenticated collection of privately-owned Banksy art worth $35 million. This globally acclaimed showcase features original and authenticated works associated with, arguably, the most intriguing and talked-about artist in modern history. On display are prints, canvases, screenprints, sculptures, unique works and limited-edition pieces. 

The exhibit features iconic works such as “Girl and Balloon” and “Rude Copper” alongside some of Banksy’s lesser-known masterpieces. Guests will experience a global exclusive – the original “Flower Thrower.” This original piece was created in 1997 as a gift for Banksy’s then girlfriend, Leonie Laws, whose exclusively-filmed testimonial will also be presented. Visitors in Tampa will also experience a signed, previously unseen work: Banksy’s “Mona Lisa.” Originally purchased directly from Banksy by actor Brad Pitt for his private collection, the artwork was returned to Banksy in 2022, who transformed it into a new piece, now on public display in the United States of America for the first time. 

The Art of Banksy has welcomed more than one million visitors worldwide in Melbourne, Tel Aviv, Auckland, Toronto, Miami, Gothenburg, Sydney and ran two years in London. In 2010, Time magazine selected Banksy for its list of the worlds’ 100 most influential people among the company of Barack Obama, Steve Jobs and Lady Gaga.

Tickets go on sale to the public on May 7. The new closing date will be Sunday, September 27, 2026, with final entry at 5:00pm.
