The arena for Banksyโ€™s art is guerrilla street installations\, making it at once highly visible to many\, while also illegal. This UK-based artist has evaded criminal charges even as his worksโ€”and the walls they coverโ€”have fetched hundreds of thousands of dollars at auction. \n\n\n\nProfessor Thomas Germano will discuss the art of Banksy in the context of street art. \n\n\n\nFor Both: $35/Member\, $40/Guest \n\n\n\nPer Session: $20/Member\, $25/Guest \n\n\n \n Register Now URL:https://www.jccotp.org/event/jccu-spring-miniseries/2026-04-23/ LOCATION:Kaplen JCC on the Palisades\, 411 E.
