Art Battle, a high-energy and super creative live painting competition, is set to captivate New Zealand's creative community. With 12 artists competing in a unique space, organiser Liam Downes, a former participant turned producer, emphasises the event's unparalleled excitement. Originating from his positive experience in a 2022 Art Battle, Liam is committed to providing a platform for local talent in exceptional venues like Wynyard Pavilion and the grand final at Eden Park in March 2024. The competition, part of the global Art Battle world series with over 60 participating cities, allows artists to showcase their skills, with the audience both onsite and online deciding their fate.
