The announcement of an official Banksy exhibition prompted a frenzy among art lovers, and The Herald was at the centre of that.
Just 10 weeks ago we produced a souvenir Herald which featured exclusive artwork from Banksy’s Cut & Run at the Gallery of Modern Art

The graffiti artist captured the imaginations of people across the globe and the Glasgow display marked the first time Banksy has showcased the stencils used to create the work.
And as Banksy bids farewell to the city, we can bring you another first. We were given exclusive access to the exhibition and have produced a second souvenir edition.
Fans of the artist can purchase their own issue on our website at www.heraldscotland.com/banksy
The show has been titled CUT & RUN: 25 years card labour closes on August 28.

Banksy told The Herald: “I’ve kept these stencils hidden away for years, mindful they could be used as evidence in a charge of criminal damage. But that moment seems to have passed, so now I’m exhibiting them in a gallery as works of art. I’m not sure which is the greater crime.”
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
