media release: The Midwest’s largest bracket-style live painting tournament is coming back to The Village of Wauwatosa for the 4th year! June 6th 5–8pm; June 7th 10am-4:30pm.
For the last three years, ART 64 has taken over The Village of Wauwatosa streets and has become a must attend event for artists and spectators alike. In a head-to-head, bracket-style painting tournament, 64 artists paint live over the course of two days. Each round will be the theme/subject of each artist’s choice. Each artist is given a set period of time to paint a work of art – 60 minutes in round 1, 75 minutes in round 2, and 90 minutes in round 3 (the final round.)
During each round of competition, spectators both in-person and virtually are encouraged to watch artists showcase their talents and vote for their favorites to advance to the next round. (Artist live streaming is encouraged!)
All participating artists are incentivized throughout the competition with the grand prize being $20,000. In addition, all paintings will be available for sale through an online auction at the conclusion of the event.*
*The winning painting will be hung up at Wauwatosa City Hall.
