About this Event
Portrait Showdown + Live Concert at TUPPS Brewery
After a rainout, we decided not to just reschedule—we leveled it up.
Join us at TUPPS Brewery on May 15 for a one-of-a-kind night where live art and live music collide.
Event Schedule
Portrait Showdown (Live Painting Competition)
5:30 – 7:30 PM

At the end of the competition, Evan will select the winning piece live, bring it on stage, place it on the golden easel, and kick off the night’s concert.
