Come Out Next Week for New York's First Live Painting College Battle, With ArtBattles U

by Awl Sponsors

On Thursday, April 4th, ArtBattles U will host the first-ever live painting battle in New York, for college students only. College! Those golden years of challenging society, authority and parents. That’s a very 2012 way of looking at things. In 2013, college students have the chance to challenge each other and, more importantly, themselves.

ArtBattles U gives the best student visual artists a stage where they can put their skills on the line and let the crowd determine their fate. These live painting “battles” bring out the best live painters, cheered on by fellow students, local tastemakers and trend setters. Tens of thousands more watch online. What’s at stake? Pride, school reputation and a monumental grand prize at every battle.

Student DJs provide the soundtrack for the night. Student photographers, hosts, dancers, hype crews, models and MCs generate the pulse at each ArtBattles U event. It’s a place to find the next big thing and for the next big thing to be found.

So next week, four of New York’s top college artists will take the stage at Webster Hall to paint live in front of more than 400 students and fans. The competitors have 90 minutes to transform a blank canvas into a finished masterpiece. At the end of the battle, the fans will determine the winner. The winning artist will receive an all-expenses paid trip to Miami where they’ll stay at the W Hotel South Beach and get passes to the best art galleries.

You can get your free tickets right here, right now.
