Art Battle is live, competitive painting like you’ve never seen before. In three fast-paced rounds, artists battle the clock and each other to create their best work in just 20 minutes.
As they paint, you’ll move around the easels, witnessing the creative process up close. Grab a beverage, cast your vote to help decide the winner, and bid in a silent auction to take your favourite piece home.
Art Battle is a global phenomenon, with events in over 80 cities worldwide.

Special thank you to Island Savings.
This event takes place on the traditional territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) speaking peoples, now known as the Esquimalt and Songhees Nations.
Territorial acknowledgments are only a small step in the broader work of dismantling colonial systems that continue to impact Indigenous communities. We invite guests to move beyond acknowledgment by engaging in self-education and redistributing resources.
For physical events that happen at a specific time. For example a concert, or dance performance. If there are multiple shows, you can still duplicate your event to cover them all.
