To the South London Massive, Get Your Stencils and Spray Cans at the Ready!
By Siobhan Donaghy

BREAKING NEWS:

Infamous Bristolian Banksy has organised “The Cans Festival” which is going to be taking place all bank holiday weekend. The secret location is being leaked tomorrow morning (Friday 2nd May) via this website (The Cans Festival). Not only can you head down there and stencil your own work to be part of the ‘exhibition’, it’s totally free to the public!

The artists — which include most notably the founding member of Massive Attack, Robert Del Naja (aka 3D Del Naja) — are going to be turning a south London street (half mile long) into an art gallery made up of purely stencil graffiti.

London is awash with Banksy work….but a whole stenciled street by him and his crew? We have to see this!!!
