Painting Turned Into A Competitive Sport Tonight

You might not think of painting as a competitive sport; however, tonight Saint John's creative types will be duking it out at a new event called Art Battle. 


Twelve talented artists will take the stage and will compete, the audience will vote to determine who has earned the right to represent New Brunswick at the Art Battle National Championships in Toronto. Organizer Andre Samson tells CHSJ News the range of art is incredible, with some people bringing in specialized gear like electric fan blades to create their paintings. 

It's a first time event for Saint John, although art battles are held regularly in Montreal, Vancouver and elsewhere.


The event is licensed at gets underway at the Sanctuary Theatre at 7:30 and costs $15.
