You may have recently seen in the press that Argyle St Arches is undertaking a five month project with the London-based Fine Art Restoration Co. (FARCO) to restore three Banksy murals that were covered with grey emulsion in 2007.
In 2001, Banksy’s joint exhibition with Jamie Reid, ‘Peace is Tough’ saw the creation of 3 very special murals on a wall in what once was ‘The Arches’; The Mona Lisa surrounded by a picture frame, a gun- toting monkey wearing a tutu, and the words “...Every time I hear the word culture, I release the safety on my 9mm” written between them.
FARCO’s team of specialist wall painting conservators will carefully remove the grey paint to reveal the three murals over the next 5 months.
We are delighted that these rare and very special murals will be saved for the nation to see!
The restoration continues in Argyle Street Arches on Saturday 18th and Sunday 19th August from 1-4PM. If are you able to join us that would be fantastic!
If you’d like to donate and support this restoration project, please visit www.indiegogo.com/…/restore-scotland-s- only-bank…/x/19084546 or www.banksy.scot/pages/donate
Any donations however big or small will be hugely appreciated!

We were delighted to be joined for the launch of the restoration at the weekend by the BBC and STV. The extensive press coverage of the restoration has been really helpful in spreading the word about the project. It’s no wonder so many of you turned out to @platform_gla @argylestarchesglasgow!
