Paint Slam returns to the Fran Hill Gallery for its 3rd year!
From 4 pm to dusk on Saturday, July 14, five teams of four artists will step gladiator-style onto eight canvasses with fistfuls of brushes and the occasional pallet knife, to duke it out.
What’s at stake? Perhaps it’s their artistic reputations, as the jibes and howls of on-lookers punctuate every slash and stab until the empire rings the final bell. Who will be painted into a corner? Who lives to paint another round?
Works remain in the gallery till the end of August.
Hosted by Leon Rooke.
Music provided by Odradek
