10 artists have 30 minutes to paint, draw and create on a blank A3 canvas in two rounds, the audience are given tokens when they enter and vote on the rounds resulting in an Art Battle Champion.
On 17th June at 7pm the Westbank Gallery in Ladbroke Grove will host the first London Art Battle. This unique social art event has been gathering a cult following in Manchester over the last three years. The premise is that 10 artists have 30 minutes to paint, draw and create on a blank A3 canvas in two rounds, the audience are given tokens when they enter and vote on the rounds resulting in an Art Battle Champion – the atmosphere is clubby, yet relaxed and very supportive. It is being touted as the most inclusive arts event ever, ‘art by the people for the people’. The art on the night gets auctioned off in a silent auction with money split between the artist and local west London charity ‘ACAVA’ (Association for Cultural Advancement in Visual Arts). It is an event that has to be attended to really understand the atmosphere – like an open mic night for artists, but more fun.
Westbank Gallery http://www.londonwestbank.bigcartel.com/exhibitions in fashionable Notting Hill is a perfect place to host the first London Art Battle. Westbank Gallery is a streetwise and forward-thinking gallery that also runs club nights and has a successful bar and clubby clientele. Westbank Gallery exhibits a lot of ‘urban art’ and famous street artists, the style of which fits in perfectly with a lot of the artists that take part.
