Art Battle® is live competitive painting. Painters create the best work they can in 20 minutes. As they work, patrons move around the easels, closely watching the creative process. The medium is acrylic paint and the tools allowed are brushes, palette knives or any non-mechanical implements. The audience votes democratically for their favorite painting and bids in silent auction to take the work home.
Art Battle happens in 50+ cities worldwide. Champions go from city to regional to national and ultimately to the World Championship. On June 14, 2025 there was a competition in Wichita Falls, Texas where Cotton County Art Council member Robert Wright competed and came away with 2nd place! Pictured is Robert and his painting.
