Art Battle Sarasota returns this January for more artist-on-artist combat on January 26 at the Selby Public Library. Join artists and audiences for a wonderful evening of creativity and community, a live painting tournament showcasing local artists and connecting Sarasota to towns and cities around the world. 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. At the end of the round, the audience votes democratically for their favorite painting and bids in silent auction to take the work home. Tickets are $40 and include drinks and finger foods. Student tickets are $20 and include no drinks. Be a part of the fun as a spectator, or participate as one of the featured artists. Find out more at the website below.
