Upper Class passengers commuting between New York and London will have the unique opportunity to not only view, but to purchase one-of-a-kind paintings by prominent British street artist Ben Eine.

And Virgin promises this is only the beginning, a serious of collaborations with renowned artists is in the works. Stay tuned!
