The award will apparently be conferred to an empty chair as the artist — whose identity is secret — will not be attending the University for the Creative Arts ceremony

The British street artist Banksy will become an honorary professor at the University for the Creative Arts (UCA), an art school with campuses in the southeast of England. But students hoping to attend lectures on stencilling or sit in on seminars about political activism will be disappointed as the title is purely symbolic.

2024 might be two years away, but street artists Kadri Lind and Sirla from the Estonian city of Tartu have already kicked off a series of international celebrations under the banner #Tartu2024 European Capital of Culture with their street art exhibition, “Hello Mister Police Officer”, now on display at the Neurotitan Gallery in Berlin-Mitte.

Tallinn's first ever legal graffiti wall has been opened, and may pave the way to more officially sanctioned walls in future, depending on how the project goes, ETV news show 'Aktuaalne kaamera' (AK) reported Friday.

The wall is located under the Pärnu mnt viaduct, south of the city center, and has so far attracted around a dozen artists. One, Emilia, told AK that:

I have spray-painted various colorful birds, or more specifically a toucan ... I really like birds and I've actually drawn several bird graffiti in Tallinn. This is one of that series.
