My friend Cathy O (who runs Anorak the happy magazine for Kids) sent me an invite to this, so it’d be rude not to.

It’s gotta be worth a shifty. Generally I pop across to a few Christmas markets to snaffle some art goodness to fill santa’s sack (for me usually).

The History of Street Art

Date: 19/12/2008 Date: 13:00

Street art legend Blek Le Rat tells the story of street art and talks about how New York graffiti inspired him. One of the first artists to have an impact on the European scene, he pioneered the stencil style (think Banksy) which has influenced many other artists. Joined by the street artist Rough, he’ll be providing an insight into the underground world of graffiti in the UK. This is one talk that you don’t want to miss.

Sponsored by Nissan QASHQAI, ‘The History of Street Art’ takes place at Tate Modern on Friday 1st August 2008 at 18.30 at 19.30.
