Battle of the Brushes

Join the Ottumwa Area Arts Council for Battle of the Brushes! Normally watching paint dry isn’t exciting. . . But this is a fierce and fun competition to view.

Here's how it works:
--Our line-up of amazing artists will have 90 minutes to paint a canvas related to a theme revealed at the beginning of the event.

--Attendees can check out the artists' progress while they race against the clock!

--Judges will review the works and declare a winner!

--Paintings will then be live auctioned, with half the proceeds going to the Ottumwa Area Arts Council and half to each artist.

--Dessert auction during the event will support the Ottumwa Area Arts Council.

--Food, beer, and wine available for purchase throughout the event.

--Doors open at 6:30 p.m. and the action starts at 7:00 p.m.

Purchase advance tickets for $5 or $7 at the door.
