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 100 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 at the Hotel Ottumwa front desk or $10 at the door. Children 10 and under free.
This year's participating artists will be announced soon.
