It’s pretty amazing what some people can do with a blank piece of canvas, what’s even more amazing is what some can do with a blank canvas, 20 minutes, and a huge crowd of spectators.

Art Battle is a monthly live competitive painting event that takes place in multiple cities across Canada. In just 20 minutes, blank canvases are transformed into brilliant works of art while the crowd moves around the easels, closely watching the creative process. At the end of the 20 minutes, the audience votes for their favourite painting and the best moves on.

This monthly event has 12 of Vancouver’s best professional and emerging artists competing for fun, glory, a $500 cash prize, and a spot in the Vancouver Finals that will be held in the Summer.

It’s a fun and unique evening and an amazing chance to see artists taken out of their studio and put in front of an audience to create something spontaneous.

Anyone is able to join (assuming you have a bit of experience with painting and have a few samples), and if you’re feeling inspired you can register to compete in the Art Battle.

Great article. I am always amazed by the talent of artists that are able to paint in front of a live audience and produce a wonderful piece of art. They are so skilled that they can complete a painting in such a short period of time. I will be getting married soon, and I will certainly consider hiring a live artist for my wedding. Thanks.
