Live Painting Tournament for $20,000 Grand Prize
In partnership with the City of Wauwatosa, NEWaukee seeks 64 artists to participate in ART 64 presented by North Shore Bank, a four day bracket-style painting tournament taking place in various locations and businesses!
In four rounds on June 3-6, 2020, artists will be paired to go head-to-head and given two hours to create a work of art on a predetermined theme on a 2’x3’ canvas. Members of the public will be invited to watch the paintings come to life and vote for their favorite paintings on the ART 64 mobile application.
The artist in each pairing with the most votes will advance to the next round. The participating 64 artists will each receive a $50 stipend, their 2’x3’ canvas per round, easel and drop cloth. The final 32 artists will each receive $100, the final 16 artists will each receive $150 and the final eight (8) artists will each receive $500. In the last round, eight artists will compete for a $20,000 grand prize and an artist in residency at Serendipity Labs in Wauwatosa to exhibit their work.
