The Art Battles Mission is to produce live art events and competitions that expose emerging artists to the masses. By presenting the creative process as a form of entertainment, we’ve changed the way
artists display their talent and created a new model for exhibition and sales. We are pioneers of a Live Art Movement seeking to bring art in to the next generation. We believe the exclusivity that confines today’s art culture must be eliminated in order to ensure that art remains engaging and accessible. The Art Battles is a forum – breaking down barriers, crossing cultural lines, and connecting artists with their admirers.
