ART 64, the one-of-a-kind, bracket-style live painting tournament and street festival, will return to The Village of Wauwatosa on June 9-10, 2023. This is the second year that 64 artists from across the country will come together to compete in a head-to-head competition.
Art enthusiasts can enjoy the outdoors and watch paintings come to life in the streets of Wauwatosa. Event attendees then vote for their favorite paintings online. The artist in each pairing with the most votes advances to the next round. In the final round, eight artists compete for a $20,000 grand prize. Paintings created at the event will be available for purchase by the public via an online silent auction.
In addition to the art competition, this free, family-friendly event will feature musical entertainment and food vendors for attendees to enjoy. Hours will be 5pm to 8pm on Friday and 10am to 8pm on Saturday, with a rain date of June 11. Major sponsors are Buckatabon Tavern & Supper Club and Cafe Hollander.
Last year, the winner of the grand prize was Wisconsin-based watercolor artist Ben Otten.
According to Otten, “ART 64 was honestly the best event I’ve participated in. The caliber of artists was amazing. The Village of Wauwatosa was not only an amazing venue, but the support of the Village and its vendors was unmatched.”
