"Like Iron Chef, but with paint!" - The New York Post
We transform the creative process into a form of entertainment. Our "battles" feature up to 4 artists painting live on stage. Each artist must take a blank canvas to a fully finished masterpiece in a set amount of time. At the end of the event, the crowd cheers for the winner. Our events are heightened by outgoing MCs, live DJs, halftime performers and more.
ArtBattles has innovatively changed the way that artists demonstrate their talents. The objective of ArtBattles is to create live painting events and competitions to expose these emerging artists to the public.

The first Art Battle took place on Houston St. in New York in an abandoned lot in September 2001. Since then, Art Battles has performed over 100 live shows in NYC. Art Battles has thrown battles at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Brooklyn Museum and Forum des Halles (Paris) while still producing "underground" events around the world. Since 2010, ArtBattles has regularly toured in Europe, particularly in France, Spain, Switzerland, the Netherlands and Poland.
We speak the universal language of art in a live format like no one else. The passion of our artists is exuberant and impossible to resist once the battle begins. Our MC's keep the crowd - and artists - on their feet at all times. It is, after all, the crowd who determines the winner of the battles with eruptions of cheers. Throughout the event we host live performances and feature some of the most exciting acts in the entertainment world. We've worked with burlesque, tap dancers, break dancers, freestyle MCs, singers, comedians and more.
We're very open to our clients providing theme ideas and coming up with a cohesive look/feel and direction for the show. We can take it to scandalous or more laid back pending your crowd, mood and vibe.
Our scaleable event platform has been a hit for high-level brands and clients, including Pepsi, Red Bull, the NFL, Sega, Nikon, Lacoste L!ve and MTV. Our artists have rocked outdoor malls, concert venues and even graffiti battles on street corners.
All content from our battles is adaptable to client goals. We shoot with the best production and film crews in New York, LA and Europe. We offer a full breadth of content creation from ideation, curation, execution and distribution. Our videos and photos are posted throughout social media and on our website.
With more than 850,000 followers on Google we have tremendous reach across the internet. We have more than 6,000 followers on Facebook and growing Twitter (2,700) and Instagram (1,300) followings. We actively engage with this community and can enable brands to directly link to an energetic audience. Our partners have offered voting polls where fans can select the competing artists, as well as brand giveaways, real time conversations and content sharing and voting after battles to determine our artist winners online.
