Watch the colours fly with A Taste of Art Battle!

The Team from Resene ColorShop Mairangi Bay

As Art Battle Auckland has joined the international arena, with 60+ cities competing worldwide, ArtWeek in the City bring you A Taste of Art Battle.

There will be two easels back to back, for a flavour of high energy, fast paced, competitive live art painted with Resene paints with spot prizes throughout the evening. The audience decides - and its winner stays on!

And in a strange twist of creative mayhem, anyone can enter. Are you willing to take on our Art Battle artists?

Get involved, or remain a spectator, as the paintings are created in front of your eyes! All artworks will be available for quick sale.

Head along to Panama Social on Lorne Street and step up to the Art Battle easels!

12 October 5-10pm

At Panama Social on Lorne Street

This is a free event, all welcome.
