This is the first solo exhibition of works by up-and-coming contemporary artist THE KID in the Netherlands. THE KID is already recognised internationally for his thought-provoking work that unflinchingly delves into social issues, pushing the boundaries of modern art and giving voice to the marginalised individual. In this exhibition, THE KID gives a characteristically sharp insight into modern issues surrounding power, privilege, and the failures of democracy, and questions the responsibility and pressure on young people across the world to shape a better future. 'The Future is Old' draws crowds with its strikingly realistic portraits of beautiful, youthful faces and

The Wynwood Walls arts district was started by real estate developer Tony Goldman, as an outdoor museum of international street art. His own awareness of the importance street art was informed by his relationship with Keith Haring, who sprayed up Goldman’s property on the Lower East Side of New York. When Goldman set his gaze upon Miami, he saw great potential in the Wynwood warehouse district. Every year, just before Art Basel takes over Miami, Goldman Properties brings in artists to paint new walls and do a refresh on old walls. So, the mural work precedes Art Basel, but Wynwood

Brooklyn-based artist KAWS is known for merging themes of 21st-century consumption, culture, and commerce. KAWS work identifies and plays on the duality inside these themes, paring commodity with priceless art, aesthetic beauty with transcendent meaning, and evoking those emotions that are at the heart of being a human within a challenging modern society. The exhibition at the Brooklyn Museum brings together a diverse range of the artist's works, from rare graffiti drawings and early altered advertisements to his popular COMPANION figures. Virtual and augmented reality exhibits allow viewers to interact and experience KAWS work on an unprecedented level.

The goal of Upfest in Bristol in 2021 is to paint 75 walls in 75 days, bringing colour, life, and art to the city of Bristol. Every year, the festival is a unique, captivating display of artistic talent from street artists across the globe, made even more significant by Bristol's place as the hometown of Banksy. Alongside the art, the festival celebrates good, authentic food, showcases musical talent, supports local charities, and helps give local craftspeople a platform to sell their work. The festival culminates in August with a weekend of live painting at Greville Smyth Park. For the street

The Art of Banksy in London is an unauthorised exhibition of Banksy's early work. All pieces are on loan from private collections, making it one of the most comprehensive displays of Banksy's work ever seen and the largest collection of privately-owned Banksy works in the world. The original canvases, sculptures, screenprints, and limited edition prints exhibited were almost exclusively created between the years of 1997 and 2008, which were Banksy's active early years as a street artist. Iconic works such as 'Girl With Balloon' and 'Rude Copper' are on display, alongside lesser-known works. The event has toured the globe, drawing

This ongoing exhibition at the MOCO Museum in Amsterdam features some of Banksy's best-loved works, including the eponymous Laugh Now. This vibrant and varied collection of prints, original paintings, and sculptures span the entirety of Banksy's career. Unmissable pieces include Girl With Balloon, Love is in the Air (Flower Thrower), and Beanfield, which is the exhibition's centrepiece. Beanfield has not been on display since 2009, but is recognised as an important example of Banksy's social activism, his anti-military sentiments, and his bold and often jarring combination of subjects and colours. Though the exhibition has not been authorised by Banksy, each

At the Wanrooij Gallery in Amsterdam, the 'Forced Perspective' exhibition celebrates the mind-bending work of muralist Leon Keer. Keer has been described as an optical illusionist, as his anamorphic works trick the eyes into perceiving depth and scale that do not exist. This new display of his work features brand-new sculptures, paintings, and augmented reality experiences alongside some of Keer's most notable past works. Keer's street artworks have cropped up on walls and in galleries across the globe, from Mexico to Saudi Arabia; but, for the first time, Keer adds a 4th dimension to his interpretation of pop surrealism with

After the success of Super Walls 2018, the festival returns in 2021 to showcase more original Italian and international artists. For two weeks, 40 artists are commissioned to transform 35 large urban walls in the eight municipalities of Abano Terme, Padua, Albignasego, Limena, Mestrino, Tombelle di Saonara, Sarmeola di Rubano, and Veggiano. The walls themselves are donated by businesses to help revitalise the colour and life of the area. For large-scale artwork by both renowned and up-coming artists, Super Walls is an important date in the European street art calendar.

Festival Inspire was first founded in 2014, and, in that year, transformed the walls of Downtown Moncton. Creative murals adorned derelict walls that had been vandalised, beautifying those areas that were the unappreciated canvases of high-traffic areas in the city. The mission is to reactivate those spaces and encourage collaboration between businesses and artists. This year, the festival reaches further. As well as the week-long frenzy of live art, murals, interactive installations, circus, street performance, and art in Downtown Moncton, the festival is travelling to Campbellton, Shippagan Tracadie, Miramichi, Saint John, Petit-Rocher, and Shediac throughout June and July.

The Vanguard exhibition at Bristol's M Shed brings famous artists, such as Inkie, together with big voices in the street art world, such as Doug Gillen, to explore the influence of the city of Bristol on the global street art scene. As the hometown of Banksy, Bristol has a lot to answer for. "Vanguard" celebrates everything that has contributed to making Bristol a global centre for street art and culture. The exhibition looks back at the last 30 years in Bristol and beyond, from graffiti's anarchist origins to its present-day peace protests, bringing together an extensive collection of rare memorabilia

The MURO LX Festival in Lisbon spotlights new, emerging artists as well as some of the most renowned modern street artists. It gives graffiti artists access to challenging new surfaces, including the pillars of the Vasco da Gama bridge, basketball courts, pedestrian crossings, train carriages, and gables, pushing the bounds of their creativity and encouraging them to interact with exciting new canvases and disused spaces. MURO LX_21 is the 4th festival of its kind and features new attractions, including workshops, concerts, and walking tours around the finished murals. The previous three festivals, in 2016, 2017, and 2019 allowed 157 artists
