The British blokes who love to draw on public property and began their career in Amsterdam before moving onto other international destinations, The London Police, will exhibit new art next month at the BLDG Gallery, Kentucky’s only relevant cultural space. The exhibition will of course feature their signature “Lads” on canvasses juxtaposed with “local influences and architecture” and also include short films by the public space decorating duo.

The London Police Go Hollywood
Carmichael Gallery opens “Brothers in Arm” next week, an exhibition by The London Police.

The show opens from 7 to 10 PM next Tuesday, September 10.
Not even the London Police can catch a break in Amsterdam. After getting permission from the owner of a building and painting a huge mural in the weed-filled city, “the City Council has threatened to remove it. Local residents are now actively rallying to save the painting.” |Wooster Collective|
